Dave - Chief Engineer

Crew.
Chief Engineer (Arctic Sunrise)


Co. Meath, Ireland

How did you come to work for Greenpeace?
I was working on an Irish sea ferry, not the most exciting of jobs when I saw an advert in an union newsletter promising excitement and a modest wage to do your bit for the planet. A week after joining I was in a Rib (inflatable speedboat), with my passport, a hundred kroner note and a bar of chocolate wrapped in a plastic bag, in an action against whalers off Norwegian coast. That was over 11 years ago.

What are you looking forward to most on this tour?
A successful finish.

What do you love most about working on the Greenpeace ships?
The crew, I have made a number of very good friends from many different parts of the planet.
