[ Editor's note: Yes, there are two Saras on board! To help avoid confusion here is a repost from one of media officer Sara's earlier crew profiles. ]

A former journalist who saw the light and ran away to sea!

I’ve been working for Greenpeace for more than five years now in the media department. Before I joined Greenpeace I was a TV journalist working in Northern Ireland and then in London's Westminster in London as a political editor.

But standing in front of a camera talking about someone else's politics started wearing a little thin. Getting the job at Greenpeace, being able to stand up and be counted for what I thought, instead of talking about what someone else thought - well, it was a dream come true.
