You are 100% correct though, no water flowing through the jets means no control.
No sweat. If you get a chance you should check it out. Whoever was at the wheel was pretty good. They made an 18 ton boat dance and were able to outmaneuver what seems to be about a 20 foot twin engine Zodiac.

On a side note I find it a bit funny that Greenpeace is tooling around in a boat that gets maybe 3mpg when wide open.

I've never seen the show, but from what I hear they would also need someone to drive it.

Then I would actually watch it! Shit, actually that would be tv gold!!! The Japs don't really fight back and again I really think they should. Regardless of your political position on what they are doing. No one should have to put up with that type of harassment from a private party.
