Right now the Rainbow Warrior is heading across the Tasman Sea to Auckland.
We will be holding Open Boats on Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th of July, at Princes Wharf in Auckland and would love for you to come on board and meet the crew!
We'll be there between 9am and 4pm, on both days, so just pop down anytime. Bring your family and friends and if you're on Facebook please join our event to RSVP, invite your friends and help us get the word out.
This is a special visit for two reasons.
It's thirty years ago this month that the French secret service exploded two bombs on the first Rainbow Warrior, sinking her in Auckland harbour and killing our friend Fernando Pereira.
Pete Willcox was captain that day and he is captain again now on board the Rainbow Warrior. Pete will sail the new Rainbow Warrior back into Auckland harbour again 30 years on.
Back then we were campaigning to stop the French government from testing nuclear bombs and they were determined to silence us. But they failed.
Millions of people around the world who supported Greenpeace made sure that even in the face of such a deadly attack, we did not stay quiet.
That attack drew more people to the idea of a nuclear free world and we didn't back down. We got stronger. And eventually we succeeded. Money was donated to buy the next Rainbow Warrior, which then returned to the Pacific year after year until nuclear testing ended in 1996.
Over the last 30 years, our ships have been central to campaigns to stop whaling, bring an end to dumping nuclear waste at sea, ban destructive driftnets and expose the deadly trade in toxic waste. We've confronted illegal fishing vessels, found evidence of dodgy timber smuggled across the ocean from the Amazon -- and used the ships for humanitarian relief work.
And we could not have done it without you.
The warrior is your ship - custom built entirely with donations from people like you - and she is a tribute to you and millions of Greenpeace supporters in over 190 countries who've been a relentless, powerful voice for this fragile planet.
Today we can be thankful that the nuclear threat no longer hangs over the Pacific – but there are other threats. Out of control fishing threatens the Pacific and its people. And climate change has become the biggest threat our planet faces - especially for the people of the Pacific.
So there's lots to do. We'll all need courage to meet the challenge, but courage we have!
Come and join us next weekend to celebrate the courage of action, and we'll tell you a little more about where the Warrior is going next ...
See you on the ship!
