My job is to tell the story of the ship from the ship. I also try to help out where I can with cleaning, deck work and that sort of thing, but somehow never seem to find the time - especially if it's raining or really hot out there.

Ship work is great. I've spent about half my professional life working desk jobs. The last office I worked at was in New York City. It had a nice view, comfy chairs, well-stocked snack machines, a pool table and some good people. I liked all that, but the work was pretty pointless - the only meaning in the job came from my paycheck.

Now I'm paid a lot less, but the view back in the office can't compete with the one out my porthole, I work with future generations in mind, take risks when I have to, and meet the most interesting people.

My thanks go especially to the millions of cyberactivists, volunteers and financial supporters. It's their support and work that makes ours possible, and it's the force of their numbers and the strength of their voice really gets things done in the end.
