REFLECTING ON RETURN TO THE AMAZON
Dec 14, 2010
WHY ARE WE HERE?
"To be able to visit the "pulse points" of the planet and report on what we see, on what we find, on what we learn through our adventures on this very special vessel of ours, Seamaster. Rather than reading about the most critical environmental areas of the world, we wanted to "see for ourselves" and form our own opinions." - Peter. 9th October, 2001.
Ollie also has some thoughts on this question.
A saying, a question, an expression of feelings from Peter that we have read and heard many times in the last year and a half.
So, why are we, the crew of Seamaster and friends, and particularly here back in the Amazon?
We are here because we have a passion, are committed and dedicated to continue the work of Peter's visions and dreams to make a better world for our future generations. We are here despite the loss of our leader, our friend and colleague, to continue his work and try to make a difference.
To say the least it has been an extremely difficult few months for all since the tragedy of his death, but with the support of our loved ones, friends, and supporters, we have the resolve to continue our quest.
Many people will say we are against impossible odds but we say our heart and soul were never stronger. We will strive forward and are committed and dedicated to the path ahead.
