>
> A 28m sailing ship is sailing from Amsterdam to Iceland, leaving around
> June 30th. We set sail to support the Friends of Iceland and Saving
> Iceland protest camp starting July 21st to oppose the planned ALCOA
> aluminium smelter and megadams that would power it, and other heavy
> industry, which would ruin Europe's largest remaining wilderness.
>
> We would return from Iceland to Amsterdam around August 4th, which
> would mean arriving back in the Netherlands late August. We are
> urgently seeking crew, there but particularly also back, preferably
> with sailing experience. The ship, Papillon, two masts, 4 sails (300
> m2), was built in Germany in 1935 as a fishing vessel sailing between
> Germany and Iceland. It has been converted for sailing in 1991 by a
> not-for- profit foundation. It carries a crew of 12 (or up to 14, with
> couples.)
>
> We aim to keep expenses minimal. Food will be mostly organic and
> vegetarian/vegan.
