“Aladdin's adventure on board Greenpeace's Rainbow Warrior was updated with new and bigger pictures during March '14 while on board Roy Maersk”
I also update with a few names I found on the internet while looking for information about the Mediterranean Tour 2006.
I usually never put names on my web page, but these names were all over the internet so why not?

Saturday 15 th of July 2006 and we had left the Dardanelles behind when I came on my watch at midnight. But there were plenty traffic and a million of sailboats. This was my last watch with our
Lebanese Doctor, she and our Webbie will be kicked off in Istanbul due to the war in Lebanon.I really liked our Lebanese Princesses, they were always
beaming of joy, well, almost. I'm most disappointed with this war, a lot of innocent people suffering and our Princesses will not be able to take me on the special Beirut tour. I will miss them very much!
When I came on my watch at 12:00 we were in the Bosporus and we had Istanbul on both sides. It's a very big town even for a cosmopolitan like me.
They had launched one of our inflatable boats for TV teams from Turkey and they were hissing around us filming while we steamed up the Bosporus. We even saw some big Flippers swimming around us so the welcome was warm. At 12:45 we had all fast and I estimate it to take less than 35 seconds to go ( A brisk walk) to the first restaurant on the jetty.

We had not even time to rig our gangway before the Rainbow Warrior was full of reporters, activists and visitors. Rainbow Warrior is crowded again and we could not go ashore until we were
cleared by the immigration.Well, it is Saturday and tonight we will paint the town red, according to the rumours Istanbul should be a great place for party and a good time. But before we can go ashore we need to wait for the clearance from the Immigration.
There was a restaurant just next to us and I will have to go and check it out first thing when we have the clearance and I have uploaded my web page. Busy busy.
Well, before uploading this page I will just tell you that there is one thing all the different places we arrive to have in common. That's the people coming and tells us that they are VERY happy to see us.
Well, one thing was different in Istanbul, it was mostly men coming onboard. Most of our Girls will leave us here or they had left in Piraeus. Well, I'm ready to go home as well.
4 girls will leave us here, our 2 Lebanese Princesses and our 2 Italians. Our Assistant Cook and our Italian/ Austrian Journalist. I found out today that she is from Italy, but the part that was given
to Italy from Austria after the World War I. She is working for a Women's magazine in Austria called the WIENERIN
At 16:00 we were still waiting for the Agent to bring back our passports from the Immigration. While waiting for my passport and shore permission I tried a few call on SKYPE™
Well, as no surprise there wasn't very much of a success with SKYPE™, in Piraeus I managed to get connected, but then I could not hear what people was saying.
So from now on I will pay the full price for a phone call, it will be cheaper than to pay “ALMOST” nothing for “nothing” And anyway, how much does it cost to call, I call from Sweden to Thailand for just a wee bit more than 0,0 using my mobile phone.
Well, what do you know, at 16:30 I took the 31 seconds walk together with our Cook to the restaurant next to the ship. We had 2 Heineken and they charged us 15€ for this. Before we left our Turkish Greenpeacer’s arrived with a van and they started to carry onboard DJ equipment.
-Hmm, maybe I'm better off to leave the ship before getting sea sick sleeping on deck.
Beautiful girls on deck

The pub “ 31 seconds walk” is to the left when walking over the gangway. If you turn to the right and walk for 25 seconds there is a big concert. Or there will be tonight, sounded like
they were doing the sound check. It will be interesting tonight, a concert next to the ship and DJ equipment onboard, but the DJ equipment will be a NO-GO area.I left the ship with our Italian volunteer/ Interpreter to go look for a supermarket close by, about 5 -6 minutes of walking, according to our Turkish Greenpeace activists. I needed to buy some wine glasses and they had coffee cups and big wine glasses to choose from.
We went for the big glasses and as much wine we could carry and w returned to the ship. And it didn't take long for us to find a bottle opener. Our French volunteer helped us to open the wine and we tried the new wine glasses.

Of course we got tipsy in the mess room, all the wine was finished and now we wanted to go ashore
like real Explorers to discover the “famous” night life in Istanbul.I just couldn't help to notice that most of the crew are using ice
in their wine now. I had my first glass of wine in Genoa and they were about to lynch me when I put ice in my wine.
- WHAT ARE YOU DOING?- Can't drink this shit without ice!
We left the ship like drunken sailors and I suggested a taxi, or a few taxis as there were quite a few of us coming ashore. But I was told that the FUN area
of Istanbul is just a few minutes’ walk away. It took us about 10 minutes to walk there and we found ourselves among plenty pubs and clubs. This looks promising and I was soon behind a bottle of beer.

We had a good night on the town and we really enjoyed Istanbul. It was all funky bananas and time was running fast and it was soon time for our return to the ship. Bad luck stroke on the way back to the ship. We decided to take a TAXI back to Rainbow Warrior and the driver drove like he had stolen his car and the motion sickness stroke as sure as fate. I was lucky that I had our Assistant Cook and our Interpreter/ Deckhand with me so they could carry me from the TAXI to the ship.
Of course, I had forgotten about that, but they were kind enough to remind me first thing when we woke up. They had been carrying me through the park

Sunday 16 th
of July 2006
and I got out of my bed at 13:30. I went to the bridge first thing to continue with the passage planning. OPEN DAY on the ship and there must have been millions of visitors on the ship. Well, anyway, it appeared like
that when my hangover was blasting high on the Richter scale.Well, I should not complain about Istanbul, we remember the drama in Piraeus when the girl came up to me at the chart table when I was kickin’ arse at the chart table.
- Ohh! Nice tattoo, she said pointing at my leg.
And she continued.
- I also have one!
She showed me her tattoo on her private area quicker than I could say “ who cares?”
- PLEASE! I said, but it was too late.
Well, there wasn't very much happening during the day, except for me ending up in a discussion about my American flag on
my door.- Why don't you like America? I asked
- They invaded Iraq.
- What about the Turkish soldiers in Iraq? I asked.
- They are just going in and out.
Not too much of a debate and argument and no rhetoric challenge and I grew tired of the discussion and left. But he never talked to me again. Well, he talked to me the day after again, but not about the American flag.
- HA! A day without taking pictures.
Well, I broke my camera display yesterday, but luckily enough I can still take pictures.

Monday 17 th
of July 2006
and I started the day with a bucket of tea on deck. We got a new Chief Mate onboard yesterday evening and I showed him around the ship.Well, I needed to repair my camera and they told me to ask our new Turkish Press something about the camera shop. Her hobby was film and stuff. She was talking with two Journalists when I asked her. The Journalists gave me an address to one of their friends in the city.
- He can repair Canon, they said.
I took a walk through the park and I stopped a taxi. It took us 15 minutes and I was charged 10 Scooby Doo money for the trip, well, that's 5€ for a 15 minutes ride.
I walked to the recommended place, I had to ask a few times before I found it. At the place they told me to go to another place. I got the address and direction and when I left the building I saw a Pharmacy across the street.
I went in to see if they had the “ STRONG ” kick ass nico plasters. Well, what do you know? They had the real stuff, 35 mg, and I bought a pack. I hope this is the kind that burns when you attach
Istanbul
with the former name Constantinople and the ancient name Byzantium. Istanbul used to be the capital of the Byzantine Empire and of the Ottoman Empire. Until 1923 it was the capital of the Turkish Republic.
Basilican Cistern or Yerebatan Sarayi (Underground palace)
There is a two-story limestone aqueduct spanning between two of the seven hills in Istanbul. The aqueduct was built in 366 by the emperor Valens. Some of the enormous open-water cisterns of the Byzantine epoch now serve market gardens. There are still more than 80 closed cisterns remaining, include one of the most beautiful and mysterious structures of Istanbul, the Basilican Cistern, near Hagia Sophia. Basilican Cistern has 336 columns that rise from the still, black waters to a vaulted roof.
Hagia Sophia
also called Church Of The Holy Wisdom, Turkish Ayasofya, cathedral built at Constantinople and the Byzantine emperor Justinian I supervised the construction. It is one of the world's great monuments, despite time's ravages. The structure, a domed basilica was completed in AD 537 and it only took 6 years to build. The architects were Anthemius of Tralles and Isidore of Miletus.
Sultan Ahmed Cami (Blue Mosque)
is most likely the most popularly known of all the mosques in Istanbul. The Mosque of Ahmed I (Ottoman sultan from 1603 to 1617), which has six minarets instead of the customary four.The mosque is called the Blue Mosque because of the colour of its tile work. The design of the mosque was based on the Hagia Sophia. The design of the mosque is perfectly symmetrical, with a great centre dome buttressed by four semi domes and surrounded by a number of smaller domes.
Agha was the architect and the Blue Mosque was his masterpiece.
After 10 minutes walking, including 2 minutes stop for asking the direction I stepped in at Canon’s place in Istanbul.
- OHHH! No no! It will take at least 10 days
- I'm leaving tonight, I lied.
I was on the second floor, the service department. There were 4 beautiful girls working there.
I don't know if they were extremely nice or if it was my charm. But they called to someone and they told me that I could be back at 16:00 to pick up my camera. PLEASE REMIND ME WHY I ALWAYS BUY CANON!
I bought myself a watch and I returned to the ship, our Chief Mate leaves today and I want to give her a last hug
before she leaves.I was back on the ship in a jiff and when I meet our Chief Mate she told me that she would leave later in the evening. So I returned
to DOWNTOWN Istanbul with my two Italian bodyguards. Comes in handy if I get motion sick again

At the Kebab place
Our Italian Interpreter/ Deckhand bought a new camera and when I had got my camera we went for a Kebab. What else to eat while in Turkey? Well, the Kebab tastes better in Turkey (I had 2, but they were very small) When we were full of Kebab, and our Assistant Cook with her salad we took a walk towards the Blue Mosque. Hmm, honestly, we didn't had a clue where this Blue Mosque where or how to go there.
We asked a man at the Kebab place.
- Blue Mosque??!!
- Do you speak German? He asked
- Ein bißchen, I answered.
He gave us the direction in German and when we left my Italian bodyguards had big eyes.
- How many languages do you speak?
- I speak a little Scooby Italian, a few words of Turkish, I answered.
We followed hid directions until we saw a big building.
- What is that? I asked while pointing on Hagia Sophia without knowing that.
- Maybe it's the Blue Mosque.
- It doesn't look blue. Maybe it's the grey mosque, I said.
I was informed that it was not the mosque that was blue, it was the inside. On the way we meet a Dutch backpacker with a “ Shoestring ” book in his left hand and he quickly informed us that it was Hagia Sophia we saw. He also told us that the Blue Mosque was close by.
Our Assistant Cook wanted to go inside the Hagia Sophia, but they were closed on Mondays and I was very relieved by that.
- Let's go to the Blue Mosque, she suggested.
- It's closed during the prayer, I said while we could hear the prayer from thousands of loudspeakers.
We started to walk towards the Grand Bazaar when we passed a place and our Interpreter/ Deckhand pointed at the entrance.
- This is a famous place, he informed us.
It turned out to be the Basilican Cistern (Underground palace). We bought three 10 Scooby Dollar tickets and we were full of expectation when we entered.
I don't know how long we spent in the Underground Palace, but it was nice to come out.
- Maybe we can go see the Blue Mosque now. Maybe the prayer is over.
- Just bring it on, I said.
We took the 5 minutes’ walk to the Blue Mosque and we took of our shoes at the entrance. You could really smell the foots of all the visitors if you understand what I mean.

There were some blue tiles, but I think I would have called it the Red mosque. I think there were a few more red tiles than blue. But I don't mind if they want to call it the Blue mosque.
We left the mosque and we had one more thing to see, the Grand Bazaar. The last tourist attraction and we had seen them all. A few t-shirts were bought before we took a TAXI back to
the Rainbow Warrior. The traffic was terrible, but our driver had power of initiative. He realized that it would take very long to go back to the ship so he used the tram track. Well, no one used it so it was free, and our driver was a real enterpriser.But it took us almost 90 minutes to go back to the ship and we arrived just in time to say good bye to the Chief Mate. I could get my bonus hug.
When we came to the ship there were a lot of people. They had a donors evening with donors visiting the ship. Snacks were served on the jetty and they showed the ship. They also displayed some info video in the side of the ship.I was in my cabin writing on my web page until our Video man wanted me for a glass of wine on the Fo’c’s’le. There was a bunch of people sitting there listening to music and it was soon past midnight. Times turns quick when you have a good time.

and our Video man made Spaghetti di Marconara for us when we got bored on the fo'c's'le. I love this Italian styled night snack and I will miss it.When we had finished the Spaghetti di Marconara I went through the park to the Discos close by the ship. You could see and hear the Discos to the boat and it was the last night in Istanbul. There were three nightclubs, but no one accepted me in my shorts. Well, I could see that it was fancy clubs by the cars outside. Never mind, I walked back to the ship and my power nap.

I woke up by someone banging on my door and I was glad that they didn't like my summer trousers at the clubs. I took 5 of our new crew on a safety tour on the ship. They tried the lifejackets and our immersion suits. We were supposed to leave at 12:00, but I was told that we were delayed until tomorrow morning.
Bosporus from our deck

That means that I'm on duty during the night and I can go ashore a little during the afternoon. I had a long shopping list from the crew and I was running around for two hours looking for all
kind of things. I came up with zip, well, an electric plug adapter for our new Chief Mate was what I could find while in downtown Istanbul.I also bought a stupid remote control to my iPod that didn't work.
During the afternoon they started the work to do a PEACE NOW! Banner on the jetty.
The banner will be hanging between our masts at departure from Istanbul. They were finished with the banner around midnight and they will put it up between the main mast and mizzen mast early tomorrow morning. 08:00 is the estimated departure time tomorrow morning.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn’t Greenpeace have a banner saying RECYCLE OR DIE
I asked the Turkish activist if they weren't going to bring all the aluminium to the recycle station. I even think it was the “American flag guy” I spoke with
- The homeless people in the park take care of it!
- What the
- They will be very happy
- So it is OK to destroy because there is some poor guy coming to clean after you to make 25 cents?
- The homeless people in the park take care of it!
- What the- They will be very happy
- So it is OK to destroy because there is some poor guy coming to clean after you to make 25 cents?
I was impressed by their attitude towards our environment and people in general, and they call me a Nazi! We could leave Istanbul at 09:00 and there were TV teams in our AVON taking pictures with Istanbul behind. I asked if they should put the banner on our Starboard side so Istanbul could see the banner.
- We will take pictures of the banner with Istanbul behind.
Yeah-yeah, media company as I was told once.
Before we left there was a female Journalist coming to join the ship for a few days. It was the meaning that I should stay with a Journalist for 2 or 3 days in my cabin. Now it was a female and I was happy. I could stay alone in my cabin, but I was in for a serious setback. Now they put a Turkish volunteer in my cabin for 2 weeks.
It was sad
to leave our Lebanese Doctor behind. But what do I know about being left behind when your country is torn by war, it must be terrible. I can't even image how it feels. I grow up in happy land surround by security and all the latest toys. This was the worst departure ever for me, could not help but being worried about our Lebanese Princesses. But they wanted to go back to Lebanon to help. But never the less, I was worried

When we had left the pilot we sat the sails and we were under sail when I came on my watch at
12:00. We headed West in the TSS from Istanbul towards the Dardanelles.The only exiting thing that happened during the afternoon was that I had one of the Turkish girls on the bridge.
She wanted to know how the equipment on the bridge was used.
I'm not the most pedagogical. But, well, I did my best. When there is a beautiful girl on the bridge you are better of showing your best side, whatever that side is.
Well, we are approaching the Dardanelles and I expect to pick up the pilot around 2 o'clock in the morning. So I know there will be some excitements on my watch. That's good, it will keep my mind busy and I don't have to be busy missing the Lebanese Doctor. I tried to get her mobile number during the day so I could call and check that she is OK. But no one seems to have her number.

Thursday 20 th
of July 2006
and we were approaching the Dardanelles when I came on my watch at midnight. My first watch with our new Turkish Doctor.- It's so lonely in the sofa since our Lebanese Doctor left us
Well, it will never be the same again and I told our new Doctor to go sit on the stool. So our new Doctor was sitting on a stool and I was alone in the sofa. Just when our Lebanese Doctor got the hang of scratching my back they take her away from me.
I got an e-mail from our former Italian Campaigner and I asked if he had the number to our Lebanese Doctor, and I hope that I will get the number.
We got our pilot at Gelibolu at 02:40 and we continued our voyage towards Ayvalik. When I came on my watch at 12:00 the maintenance work on deck was in full swing. The crew were chipping and painting everywhere. We had a strong wind blowing from NE and heavy sea so our Turkish and Israeli scientists could not look for mammals.

Our two Scientist are counting sea mammals, but with the rough sea it is not possible to see any mammals. We entered the Muselim Channel at 12:30 and we was in lee between Turkey and Nísos Lésvos. They told me that this was a very good place to see bottle-nosed flippers.
At 12:40 the sea was like a mirror and our volunteers were posted with binoculars around the ship
and after 1 hour we had three flippers playing at our bow.When we were west of Nísos Lésvos and it was time to change course towards SE the wind increased and soon we had a force 8 blowing from the NE. No use to look for flippers and the crew stood down from their posts.
At 16:35 we dropped the anchor at Alibey Adasi, some three NM West of Ayvalik. Here we will stay until Saturday morning for diving. The plan is to be in Aliaga 10 o'clock Saturday morning.
When I got off my watch my roommate was in bed, he is in bed all the time sea sick. Well, this must be terrible, lying in a bed seasick and nowhere to go. But if you are sea sick when anchored maybe you should consider going home and leave me alone in my cabin.
- Did I just say that? It didn't come out good.
I went down to say hello to the engine department and our 2nd Engineer was busy helping our Video man repairing his underwater camera case, or whatever it was.

Friday 21 st

and we were anchored when I came on watch at midnight. It was still blowing force 8 and we had dragged our anchor a little during the evening.Anchored and I'm alone on watch, good. I have time to do my passage planning and other IMPORTANT and secret stuff. Well, I'm happy because our Assistant Cook use to spend the night on the bridge and today we talked about important stuff and it was 2 o'clock before soon and she went to bed. Always nice with beautiful girls on the bridge.
Well, time was flying, but I still had time to miss our Lebanese Doctor. I was in a very bad mood when we left her behind in Istanbul. I was so sad so people asked me if something was wrong.
We were still at anchor when I came on my watch at 12:00. It was a pretty uneventful watch and not very much happened except that I could watch the maintenance on deck. Our beautiful press something from Turkey visited me on the bridge and we talked about music and all of the sudden she dashed off and she returned with a CD with Turkish music.

After dinner our Turkish press something told me that my roommate is going home tomorrow. I can't say that I was sad when she broke the news to me. I also got confirmed that I'm going home 1st or 2nd of August.
We spent the evening watching a movie, the Ghost Dog
and then it was pretty much time for my watch. Arrival to Aliaga tomorrow and that will be a totally new adventure.  |
