A good friend left the ship

Posted by at 9:07 PM, June 29, 2004

Hi everyone,

Well as rightly predicted before I could wake up, Brian had left for the Airport so early probably between 6 and 7am. I still feel that a part of me has gone.

The rest of the crew will definitely make me feel at home, this I know and already this is coming out for real. After my breakfast, I helped out at the kitchen alongside the soft-spoken lady, Martha, she would have fitted well in soprano with her sonorous voice, quite pleasing staying out with such a lady for almost an hour helping out with the preparation of lunch.

Hi everyone,

Well as rightly predicted before I could wake up, Brian had left for the Airport so early probably between 6 and 7am. I still feel that a part of me has gone.

The rest of the crew will definitely make me feel at home, this I know and already this is coming out for real. After my breakfast, I helped out at the kitchen alongside the soft-spoken lady, Martha, she would have fitted well in soprano with her sonorous voice, quite pleasing staying out with such a lady for almost an hour helping out with the preparation of lunch.

I really get down to work both at the campaign office and the Greenpeace office in town, shuttling between the two offices is quite interesting it affords me the opportunity of seeing more things of interest in Reykjavik.

I must confess that although things may be quite expensive here yet it is a very neat place all the same. The traffic lights are perfectly in good working order giving the pedestrians chance to pass through the slightly busy motorways at leisure. Parking spaces for cars are technically and systematically improvised for right on most of the high way. The linings and markings on the road system are boldly imprinted.

Irene was pretty helpful on my updates, her request for my copy propelled me to settle down and get something together for a befitting one. My body seems to be co-operating with the weather here at last, Irene and Helena nearly got me napping when they said this period of what I called extreme coldness is nothing but summer time, that winter period is always different. The sun is not allowed to render its light-giving services, meaning that lights from the sun can only be enjoyed for a few hours per day while a greater part of the day is pitch dark, thanks to well lit street lights anyway I wonder what it would look like here if it were to be during the prehistoric age, and I was wondering the extremity of the coldness then, indeed inhabitants of the Tropics must be lucky.

I was at the quayside of the ship today to attend a short press briefing with Icelandic who’s who (especially politicians), Frode was there to take care of things alongside Jack another articulate orator.

After the briefing, I watched the match between Portugal and Netherlands right there, it ended in 2 goals to 1 in favour of the hard fighting Portuguese, it was a deserved victory for them. The only goal scored by the Dutch was actually an own goal through one of the defenders of the Portuguese while trying to save a shot from the opponent. At the Greenpeace office in town, I was able to chat on the yahoo messenger do some e-mailing and had a nice shots, it was fun anyway, Pelle helped out with the shots. Right there I got to know that I will be going for whale-watching by tomorrow at 9.00am, I think I better prepare fully for it did I hear you say ‘definitely this is tomakint’s chance to see some of the whales he helps to save, hope to see them,’ thanks!
