Hi my name is Luke.  I live in the hills just outside of Barcelona in a small agro-ecological community that engages with the city by running educational workshops and training courses dealing with diverse topics such as sustainability, food production, renewable technologies and autonomy.

On board I sail as an assistant engineer, which is a bit like being a deckhand in the engine room.  I am privileged because about 4 years ago I started sailing with Greenpeace as a deckhand, and therefore I have got to know both sides of being at sea, that of the deck, bridge and navigation, and now that of the systems and technologies employed to keep a ship afloat, moving in the right direction and capable of sustaining all the things we take for granted in our everyday lives, such as drinking water, hot water for showers, lights power and heating etc.

Hi Luke. Good to see you're still working hard for Greenpeace, and in the engine room now, the hottest, sweatiest and noisiest place on the ship. I'm back working with the Science unit after living in Portugal for two years. It's been four years since I last sailed on the Espy but I still like to keep track of all the good work you guys do. Take care and all the best.

Hola Luke,

give my regards to all the rags o/b.

Marta.
