I'm the French Canadian onboard who would never have thought about going to the southern ocean with the Greenpeace crew of the Esperanza this year. It started when I was searching for any kind of helijob on the web. Just something to escape my little life. When I saw that chance for going to Antarctica on a Canadian/International helicopter job website, I said to myself: "Try! You have nothing to loose!" But I didn't know that this contract was with Greenpeace… On a ship… to defend whales until that Saturday morning. I had hallucinations when I read this email from Hughie, Tweety's pilot, two months afterwards, asking me: "Do you still want to go?" Yesssssssss! One month after that I was on the ship.

I'm really proud to be on this expedition. A couple months ago I was searching to do something good… Something that will help the world community or the planet… I hope it's not the last trip with Greenpeace!

P.S. Many thanx to that guy who quit and gave me this amazing chance

Thanx!

Chris
