Endich there – on the ship!

January 23, 2012 admin Thoughts

The Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise is currently traveling in the Northeast Atlantic, to protest against the destructive deep sea fishing. Also on board: Yve Tiede. Here she talks about her experiences on board.Very top of Scotland, the Outer Hebrides, I go on board the Arctic Sunrise.Four weeks she was already on his way to detect very large deep-sea fishing trawlers in the North Atlantic, with their huge nets fish empty the seas.

Who has the resources and levers, must ensure that in future there is still plenty of fish in the oceans!

on board tells me Chris, who is responsible for the logistics, the basics on the ship. But despite cruise I look through the supposed chaos of the course is difficult. I usually never really know on which deck I'm watching: Are we heading to the fair up or down? And where was the same toilet?

The number 1 topic among the newcomers on board – stirred up by the vivid stories of the permanent crew – seasickness. This may indeed be cheerful weeks for the stomach! The Arctic Sunrise is notorious for its particularly strong at all rocking.
I quickly used the opportunity and I still bought at the local supermarket a large ginger tuber. This should be good against seasickness. Let's see whether it helps …
