Rockall did it for me. I gave my youth to the British health service, more than that you don't need to know. Two days before I quit my job as a general practitioner in Wales, which had ground me down into a dispirited mess for five long years, the great Al Baker phoned up and asked if I wanted to go on a trip to Rockall. Little did he know that I had been obsessed with the place when I was a little boy, and had painted pictures of it from my child's imagination. That trip was so fabulous that when Al, and John Cunningham, also a Greenpeace veteran, said to me "why don't you get onto one of our ships?", I didn't need any persuading. So here I am, busily converting the crew to the joys of homeopathic medicine and impersonating a deckhand. I made a remedy out of Rockall, if anyone's interested. It's very strong.

Had a read through the weblog, amazing, fascinating stuff, I guess the decision to quit the health service in preference to Greenpeace didn't need a lot of thought. I see you're not a pollywog any more. You really are having a wild and amazing adventure. Great stuff, keep up the good work.
