Name: Satu From: Finland Job: Deckhand (volunteer)
How did you come to be working on Greenpeace ships?
I volunteer for Greenpeace Finland. A couple of years ago I was involved in actions on board the Rainbow Warrior and I quite liked the atmosphere and the intensity of a Greenpeace ship. When I got to join Esperanza this summer on the Baltic Tour I immediately felt like I had come home. I've refused to leave the ship so far - I'm as curious as anybody about when I'll be asked to go home.
What do you do when you are not on board?
I am a lazy student trying to finish my degree. With that and the activism there hasn't been much time for hobbies lately, except from seeing some tv and watching a movie sometimes. I will start to learn Spanish here on board, though.
What is your favorite thing to do on the ship?
Being up on the bridge, whether on watch or just hanging out. I love maps, charts, navigation, compasses, radars... and the view! Duty officers must be getting tired of the ton of questions I keep asking, always insisting on putting the ship's position to the chart! Scary news: I've also tried steering the Esperanza...
If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?
Chocolate would be healthy!
