1. All time favorite book

Really a tough one to start with, because I read all the time when not made to work 12h days for some project (like gp). Usually I read two books at a time, one fiction & one educational: lately marine oriented stuff, but generally something on psychology/cognitive science - on how what we call reality is created by the mind, the human nervous system.

But my all time favorite is a work of (science) fiction: The Schroedinger's Cat, by Robert Anton Wilson. The most widely educated author I know, one who has a grip on both modern physics (quantum theory etc.) & psychology, then he popularizes cutting edge science by writing seriously funny fiction about it, with a rebel attitude.

2. Music that makes you jive.

Reggae and some (definitely not all) Folk are for relaxing and uplifting the weary spirit. Punk and Industrial Rock are for attitude adjustment (..just a shell until you decide to rebel!!..). Psychedelic Rock is for special occasions. Electronica I never just listen to, but frozen 1s and 0s provide the beat for great outdoor parties, where dozens -sometimes hundreds- dance themselves to trance -my kindÂ’ a parties-. And when I'm totally bored with all my albums and the computer collection, then it's time to go to the library and check out some Beethoven, or other hard core, heavy duty, classical shit. Did I mention Funk, that's to grrroooove by.

3. What are the words you live by?

1. Follow only paths that have heart. ---My path towards illumination of a kind includes service to the Earth Mother, she hurts & must be defended..

2. If you have to do something - do it hard core!!

4. If you could live your “perfect life”, where would you be, and what would you be doing?

I would be skippering an ocean-worthy sailing yacht, a two master, somewhere in the Pacific, planning the next whimsical nonviolent direct action prank against the system with my -activist to the bone-crew.

5. So far, which part of this Baltic Cod campaign has been most memorable?

The day when we lifted up the two km of net, and I had to "dive" a bit to get that damned mesh out of the propellers of the 'Whale. [Editor's note - one of our boast, the "Grey Whale", not a large marine mammal ;-) ]

6. What was your worst fear coming on-board the Arctic Sunrise to join this campaign?

That, serious to almost being depressed about a lot of things that I am, I would find this scene to be too hippie-happy-laa-laa to my taste. Sometimes, often, I wish we could achieve more with the hell of a lot of resources at our disposal (compared to any other ngo).

7. Describe you personality in three words.

Travelling student activist.

8. What is your most memorable Greenpeace moment?

In the oil harbor of Muuga, Estonia, I participated in a gp-action blocking a tanker named Byzantio. It was right after the Prestige disaster in Spain, Prestige having loaded it's cargo of oil also in Muuga, Byzantio likewise being a single-hull tanker in very bad condition. It was in November, -15C. After climbing the mooring lines and hanging there for some hours, I got "go" for boarding the tanker - which I did. On tanker I met the captain of B. who said that his own ship is in ok condition (doubtful), but that he basically understood the protest about single-hull tankers, therefore none of his crew would bother me. I was removed from the tanker by the police after sunset. I was totally freezing, but our action was a big media hit in Estonia and Finland, also success globally (Reuters, BBC). One of the peak moments of my life, for sure. Also an action remembered by the Estonian Coast Guard people on 'Sunrise today.
