History with Greenpeace: My name is Simon, and I have been a deckhand on the Esperanza for a week now.

I have been sailing with Greenpeace for many years, and still love having the chance to do what we do, especially in Europe where there is so much more work to be done.

I guess my favourite Greenpeace campaign is our work to stop the "star wars" missile defence program (which I feel would start a new arms race). This, and highlighting unnecessary military aggression, are probably my favourite issues to be involved in.

Coming from New Zealand, I'm not really used to these northern winters. It's cold here, but summer is just around the corner and so is some good work for the ship and that sounds good to me!
