Two-Month Mission
"I signed up for a 2-month-only mission in Norway", that was six years ago. In The Same Boat cleans the Norwegian and Arctic coastline from sailboats: volunteers live aboard for weeks at a time in some of the most remote and weather-exposed places in Europe. This facet is the boat as a workplace and a home, the school, the safety drills, the anchorages, and the ordinary logistics of getting a crew to a beach nobody else reaches.

- - I certainly never planned for this to still be my thing - 6 years…. 2-month-only mission in Norway. (And I promise, I do sometimes talk about other things too!) But this was from a magical sail from Stamsund, Lofoten to Bodø in Northern Norway, moving location after we collected 2700 kilos of plastic litter in Lofoten.
