SOLAR NAVIGATOR  and THE LOST WHALE

CHAPTER 3 - PIRATES  

Japan. Precise location.  A restaurant where the rich and powerful dine on speciality meats.  Fish is a delicacy.  Whale meat, an aphrodisiac.  It is forbidden to hunt whales by international treaty, but the equivalent of marine poaching is a way of life for ruthless gangs who raom the sea in search for easy money..................

The dockside is busy as usual, with loading and unloading of several boats, despite the late hour.  The Suzy Wong is well worn.  A familiar refuge to the crew during lonely hours searching for the most lucrative prey of all - the humpback whale.  Pound for pound, whale meat is almost as valuable as gold.  This is because Japan stopped hunting whales many years ago due to international pressures. But, wherever there is a market, underground or otherwise, there are always those who will rise to fill the void, illegal or not. 

Because of Hawaii's location in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the water is relatively nutrient free (which is why their waters are so clear & blue) and too warm to support enough of the humpback's food to sustain them year round. They must migrate back to colder water to feed and rebuild their blubber supply.
