How long have you been sailing with Greenpeace? When, what and how was the first time?
IÂ’ve been sailing on the ships for 13 years, since October 93. I was first working as a fundraiser in the office in Canada. My first trip was on the MV Greenpeace, it was in the Sea of Japan, on nuclear waste. I had worked before on a merchant navy, it wasnÂ’t what I wanted, no sense of group or adventure. But on the Greenpeace ships, it is all different. ItÂ’s a fantastic positive environment. I canÂ’t imagine doing something else. I have been a deckhand, bosun, engineer, and now boat mechanic.
