Thank you for any help you can give to me.

My email address is: ckm1952@aol.com

Thank you again,

Hello. I am trying to locate a young man who use to work on the Greenpeace ship. His name is Slava Stepanova and he is from Russia. He was married to my daughter Cheryl and I lost contact with him. I may be traveling to Russia and would like to see him when I go there. Can you please help me contact him? thank you. Candace

Hello you lucky lot,
I met a few of you during an open day in Auckland, had a nosey onboard, shared a beer, for such a fleeting visit you have all stuck vividly in my memory onboard the inspiring mother of peace, now my own travells have come to an end, i'm full of interest in what you are all upto, and hope your going good, braving the deep seas, not going too mad with all the beauty and destruction. Another well wisher,
saffron

Just found your site tonight, brilliant peeps. Brought it home to me how we are killing off our seas and oceans. Just wish I was there with you. God speed, good luck and safe sailing.

I think this is excellent and i fully support your work. I note this morning that you will be travelling to Solomon Islands which i am looking forward to. When in Solomon Islands, can you assist my community to stop logging operation in our area. Our community has accepted last year to pilot the SPREP funded international Water Program whcih the community was excited to host but this year a logging company start cutting our trees on the islands. We took up legal case against them but until noe no decision from our high court has been made.

What do i need to do to obtain you assistant on this matter.

Just wanted to tell yall good luck and keep up the good work.The sea is all we have left.If we dont we will all be in trouble.peace

This is for Dave Walsh!

Cheers,

Theo Ryan.

'Dirty Fecker' rescued off Co Wicklow coast
Last updated: 07-07-04, 09:26

The Dirty Fecker, a 24-foot motor launch was towed safely to Dun Laoghaire Harbour in the early hours of this morning after breaking down off Greystones, Co Wicklow while on a fishing trip.

The Dun Laoghaire all-weather lifeboat the Anna Livia was launched at 2.10am and was on the scene at 2.40am. The Dirty Fecker was towed to shore by 4.20am and the three occupants of the boat, all from the Dublin area, were brought ashore safely.

"Our initial thought was that it might be a hoax call as the name of the vessel would certainly be considered unusual", said Stephen Wynne, Lifeboat Operations Manager at Dun Laoghaire. "We are happy the Dirty Fecker and crew are safe and sound"

Hi folks,

Took a couple of minutes today to view your latest adventures and was mightily impressed! I never knew what goes on with regards to all the destructive fishing out there. Thanks for making me aware and keep up the good work,

Cheers, Animal.

You have my total ultimate respect for what you are doing. I consider all of you only one step below God himself.
I'm sure that the majority of people think you're time on the Rainbow Warrior is just fun and excitement, but growing up on an island I know what working on a ship is like!!! Please accept my total thanks for all you do and know that I realize what you do is mostly thankless monotonous work with a little excitement and reward thrown in from time to time!!!! I truly thank you all.

Kisses from Brazil!!

Kia Ora,

Myself and a friend of mine Nick Mellor visited the Rainbow Warrior ii earlier today for the possibility of getting a chance to talk to someone about the future plans of the vessel and the possibility of working with you in some way.
Speeking for myself, I come from a strong sailing background and have been accumulating offshore sailing experience over the last 4 years on various yachts. We both surf and have a strong bond and respect for the sea.

Both myself and Nick have strong film and television skills having completed different degrees in the same field.

The reason I write is to ask for the opportunity to speak someone onboard while you are in Wellington about the possibility of being involved with your vessel in the future. We appreciate that you will all have plenty to get done while in port.

If there is any assistence we can give (I have worked on yacht maintence on and off for the last 4 years in Wellington) while you are here please let us know.

Kind Regards
Ross & Nick

Hello the Rainbow Warrior! A big thumbs up from the Big House: Logan's home back on terra firma. I had a look at some of your pictures and stories - great to see people in action! I wouldn't last an hour in an ocean boat without bringing up my last meal, so I take my hat of to you.

And we never knew Logi could write so eloquently ;-)

Anyway, if Logi is still on board, say hi from me. See you when you get back to Auckland!

Simeon

dear rainbow warrior,
wish you the best luck for the open day... hope that every one will know you better, that you'll spread the peace not terror nor fear.. good luck..

Dear Rainbow Warrior,

The future generation will remember the Rainbow Warrior and her brave crew the same way we remember the Beagle and her crew today. The Beagle might have caused the theory of evolution to be formulated, but there is no doubt the Rainbow Warrior is helping towards the theory's realization by allowing the species to continue to evolve and affect all our lives and not erased from the face of the earth.

Thank you very much for your selfless sacrifice for the generation to come.

Ruben

hei every one,
i just wonder if one of your crew member celebrating a birth day, what would you guys do? esspecially when you guys in the middle of no where? thanks for the answer..

[Hi Findi - we usually have some kind of a party - Martin and Anna - our cooks - make cakes, usually on a theme that relates to the nationality of the birthday girl/boy! - Dave]

Dear Kat,

Dude! Just wanted to drop you a quick line and congratulate you on yet another Bolstad Big Adventure. After doing some reading, I am ready to come on board and get funky -- pirate style!

I hope that is has been a productive trip and that your sea legs are well in tact.

Jaime

Kia Kaha Koutou! Go hard out there, all us useless ones doing the 9-5 here are supporting in as many other ways we can.... Best of luck!

Nicole and Whanau

Keep up the good work guys, I think you are all doing a fantastic job.My prayers are with you.

Hi to Kat and the whole crew!

I was Kat's roommate in college when she used to come home with sucker marks on her arms from the octopus at the New England Aquarium. At least, that's what she *said* they were... Not only am I amazingly proud of her, I want to send my admiration and support to the whole crew of the Rainbow Warrior. There are a lot of us landlubbers who are behind you and your mission 100%, and reading the online log avidly.

Thanks, and have a blast out there!
Claire

Keep up the great work! Because of people like you, others around the world are becoming aware of the dangers of deep-sea trawling. The WWW is a powerful tool to deliver your message ... anyone who has access can see what's going on!
I wouldn't have the fortitude to keep at it in the cold and wet (I'm a Canadian but hate the cold - go figure), but am glad that you guys can do so and expose these miscreants.
May the weather gods be on your side and you accomplish all your goals!

U PEOPLE ROCK !!! I would love to be able to do what you do.I was wondering what I would have to do to be a part of the crew. It'll be a while,though.I'm only 13.Keep up the good work!

Hey Guys,

Your doing a great job keep up the great work, I hope they hear your message this time.

Rebecca

All the best for your voyage. I think you are doing a fantastic job drawing attention to the harmful practice of deep sea bottom trawling. I always thought that orange roughy was harvested unethically - it's sad that the practice has not changed over so many years! Surely better methods can be used of harvesting fish sustainably and selectively. It all comes down to the conscience of individual people, whether they are hiding behind the facade of big companies or not. My personal ambition is to have a fish farm in NZ with hatcheries full of native fish fry to release back into NZ waters, but that won't work if someone else is hauling them out at the other end. So thank you for your work!

Hi Kat

We have been following with interest your exploits. Our overnight visitors have been looking over my shoulder and asking what it is all about.

I have been bragging about your fried green tomatoes, please send the recipe for the coating.

Spoke to Gary last week and looks as though a trip to Oz may be on the cards soon and then a longer trip to Europe & home to see your folks?

Hope you are having a great time, what other duties do you have on board and everyone (we looked at your crew information) wants to know what Crecow dancing is?

Also Lesley & Elaine (our visitor) want to know can they write to the Panamanian bloke!!!!!
Bit old for pen pals in my opinion

Best wishes

Lesley & Dave

hi ya guys & gals,
just wanted to say good luck on your mission to get a moratorium put in place over deep sea trawling. i did a trip on a sandford trawler off the chatham rise and one of my duties was dumping the huge variety of different sea life that is by-catch and i was devastated at the ammount and variety that is dumped over the side each trawl. lots of black coral which means everything on the sea floor is destroyed by the " tickler " which you will know is a haevy chain and weights designed to drag along the bottom and throw everything up into the mouth of the net. i've been told that the by-catch also settles in thermo-kleins and this also causes major problems for all sea life under these cold water layers. anyway keep up the good fight.

Hi Dave,

Your cousin here! Sounds like things are going well for you out there. Love the dolphin photos you sent Barry and the one of your office window - very jealous I have to say. My view is of a wall!

Keep up the good work and I look forward to hearing all about it next time you are home.

Take Care
Susan

Hey there guys,

Just a quick hello from the greenpeace team in Christchurch, to say we're thinking of you guys, and the work you are doing is reaching the people here in Chch. You are fantastic, its just amazing the obstacles you have already overcome in that unforgiving sea. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

BEWARE THE ANGRY FISHERMEN FROM NELSON haha

Christchurch Team

Hello! I'm excited to hear about what you guys are up to on the web, keep up the great work, we are all thinking about you here in Sydney! Please keep us updated! Hope to see you again some day! Take care, Cornelia (that german redhead...)

Hi. I think you guys are doing an awesome job and it's really good to see some people really do care about the environment. It always shocks me how governments can spend so much researching things on distant planets, while they destroy the world they share with over 8 billion other people. Keep up the good work.

moin,moin der ganzen crew!

möchte allen ein gutes gelingen wünschen und gute fahrt !
in gedanken bei euch...ins besonderem bei jannik und jannes!!!
meldet euch mal!!!
tina

Thank you for making the world aware of the atrocities going on in the name of providing - food, income, profit. This is another apalling slight on our beautiful world. I appreciate your being out there and doing something about it. Take care, stay safe and we are their with you in the spirit of our planet.

hey guys(franzDisco- dancing muscles, Derek -ro), looks like you guys on the the ship are "rocking"
have fun guys.
Cheers

Gang,
great to see you in lively colour on the www. Site looks great & the background on the crew really helps the "mystique" some people see in GP.
My experience working onboard the ship (everything looks so familiar in the pics!) will not be forgotten.
Johnny Cash & Leornard Coen on the open seas at night will not be forgotten.
3-4hrs sleep per night will not be forgotten.
The Auckland welcoming will not be forgotten.
G'day to Stu & cheers to Emma for the relentless energy!
Keep up the great work, all.

NUCLEAR NEVER SAFE

You guys rock! Keep up the great work. :-D

Hey guys and gals!

Liked the story on inflatables and using them properly. We use them in our yacht races for referee boats and course markers. Loaded with GPS for pinpoint reference.

Need a Zodiac pilot? Best of luck and let's save these seas we love so much.

Peace,
Tig

This is a messige for Anna Rachuy (cook 2).I tried to send a mail to her but it came back to me.Is there a mistake in the adress ? I wrote it in This way: cook2@surw.greenpeace.org can you please answer me? greeting Willi Matenaar

Hello, valiant crew of the Rainbow Warrior!
I am a high school senior from Long Island, NY, and first learned about Greenpeace's history in 10th grade. I remember reading Robert Hunter's book, "Warriors of the Rainbow". I was awed and inspired by the courage and strength of will those people had. Reading about the continuing actions of Greenpeace further inspires me to fight to protect the oceans.
Good luck and safe journey to all of the crew, and thank you!
Sincerely,
Sharon B.

Hi guys. Good to read of your plight and endeavours. I am a keen pleasure fisherman off the coast of Taranaki and interested in your voyages . Nets are certainly a destructive and dangerous method of fishing . Their presence here is now much reduced which is good . Imagine you're sheltering up at present . Will keep following you. Good Luck, Greg

Hello intrepid Rainbow Warrior/NZ crew.

Greetings from the wet UK, and your counterparts in the London office.

Your weblogs are bringing it all back to me. Although I'm glad we had a bigger ship to brave our storms!

I hope the Johnny Cash isn't getting overbearing (and remember - regardless of how tempting it may be - throwing a CD over the side is litter and that's bad, m'kay?). Say hi to the dolphins for us, and tell them we're still doing our best for their whinging pommie (and European) relatives over on this side of the globe.

big hugs

Willie

Hi guys, hope the weather is getting better for you. I just wanted to say thanks for a fantastic day on the ship. I was working for GP NZ as a frontliner for 6 months and the day I worked on RW was my final day before leaving for England and another summer.

You guys rock.

love Hazel x x x x

keep up the good work guys

Hi Roscoe!!!

Got your sea legs yet? Hope you're having lots of success with the mission. Will send you a link to check out the photos I took soon.
Take care

Hi

I'm doing an article on Rainbow Warrior and saw a photo of Bunny next to a memorial artwork for the sunken RainbowWarrior somewhere in the port of Auckland.I have looked around Quay Street but can't find it! Would appreciate if you can mail me where exactly it is (or isn't anymore).

Cheers.

I want to be a crewmember. Particularly i want to be one of the whale boat rammers. Can anyone provide with with some kind of point of contact for becoming a crew member, please!!

[EDITOR'S NOTE: Greenpeace does NOT ram boats. We are a non-violent organisation.]

-todd

93 and online!!! That's pretty impressive!!

Hi Carmen and crew, thinking of you all in this little blow!

I am Kat Bolstad's 93 year old grandmoher and am fascinated by the reports I read. What an adventurous group you are. Harriet

I would also like to know how everyone got their positions. Just curious. You don't see many adds for :WANTED- MARINE BIOLOGIST TO DO EXCITING WORK ON RAINBOW WARRIOR: a lot!! Or maybe I am not looking in the right place..??

Hallo there

Just wanted to wish you all a safe, smooth and successful mission.

I cannot describe my admiration for your caring
bravery.

Bon voyage

Ann Williams

Hi to the crew!

I just wondered how all the crew members got their positions working on the Rainbow Warrior or with Greenpeace in general. (I hope to join Greenpeace when I finish my degree!)

Thankyou, Danielle

As you guys leave for the High Seas, we are going through the final preparations for UNICPOLOS in New York. Tomorrow we will send letters to all 186 UN Missions telling them of your journey and asking them to sign on to the call for a moratorium. All on the political team are ready to do our part to make this happen, and look forward to your reports to strengthen our work at the UN.

Strength, power, peace!

Karen and the GPI poltical team.
