3. The Work Goes On! Thank you to our Families, Friends, Sponsors and Donors who supported the WildlifeSAIL mission, which crowned a great start to the new millennium.
In the Summer of 2005 we sailed into New York City, and later into Westport, Massachusetts, where 17 years ago I sat on a rock by the sea, aching to sail beyond the horizon on a catamaran.
Even though WILDLIFE is currently out of the water for the winter, my work goes on. We have cataloged 10,000 photographs and over 60 hours of film. I will continue to use this material for presentations, short films and articles about the scientists and conservationists we worked with, as well as to recount our successes and blunders in remote parts of the globe.
WildlifeSAIL's media material serves as proof for how fast our world is changing and why a new era has dawned. In the Atlantic we met native fisherman who are investing their hard earned profits in marine sanctuaries, because the seafood on which they depended their whole life is vanishing. In the Pacific we witnessed massive coral bleaching due to record ocean temperature increases, and we learned why fish far out at sea depend on the health of these reefs.

Fair winds and a star before your mast!
