There was enormous interest in what Greenpeace do and equally
enormous interest in coming on board for a visit. I think a lot of people see
photos and video footage of the Esperanza but never really comprehend how large
the ship is until they stand on the deck. The tours went onto the bridge and
around the upper decks with everyone taking lots of photos.

The "General Purpose Workshop" (which once upon a time you could have called the
Helicopter Hanger) was converted into a small presentation room for the day.
With a projector screen and a few seats, guests were treated to some amazing
video footage that we all know and love. We were even lucky enough to have a
blind guest on board who was treated to a special tour, so he didn't bump his
head. He had a great time!

Overall the day was hugely successful and the Spanish people and tourist all
left the ship with big smiles and great "Defending Our Oceans" stickers.
