Our dear friend and IWMC Board Member, Steinar Bastesen, a renowned Whaler Personality is currently encountering serious health problems. He's doing well considering the seriousness of his operation.

His family and friends are of course worried first of all about his recovery, but second of all, they're worried about how in the world to slow this Whaler down once he gets out of the hospital.

The whole Sustainable Use Community is sending their wishes for a prompt and complete recovery to Steinar. Hang in there, we still need you!
