"All ships all ships, specifically Pacific Pintail and Pacific Teal. This is Love of Gaia, Love of Gaia, Love of Gaia. This is a message from the Nuclear Free Seas Flotilla. Please be aware that there are ten sailing vessels in international waters between Lord Howe and Norfolk Islands…peacefully bearing witness to your transport of dangerous nuclear cargo and representing the opposition of many thousands of people around the world. We had anticipated your passing our vessels during daylight hours but on present information it would appear that you will pass us in the night. If this is the case, in the interests of maritime safety, we would appreciate confirmation that you are aware of our presence. Do you copy?"
