After months of suspecting my relationship was over, but not saying things due to my partners depression and various circumstance, my partner finally was able to be honest with me... Via whatsapp.

Can't have a relationship if one of us isn't there, as much as I want to be, circumstance has kept us apart, and now it's permanent.

It sucks even more because I won't...

Another year has passed, life however never goes as planned it seems.

I am lucky to have the greatest job in the world, I get to sail around it, while cooking tasty, cruelty free food, with amazing humans, saving our oceans from other humans.

It wasn’t always as such. Sure, I had a great career, a successful one, but I have nothing to show for...

How do you know the relationship is over?

Dealing with a long distance relationship due to circumstance and borders isn't easy. Communication is vital, but when the communication is difficult or non existent it becomes more so.

There was a time we communicated every day, all the time, desperate to talk to each other, Skype and text. Now I'm lucky if I get a "good...

I feel for you. It's not easy and it would be a hard conversation to have even in ideal circs.  If the communication has become less and less, then she needs her space as hard as it is to do. I have gone through this so many times and my heart feels for you. Stay strong

I met a girl a month before I left on my first campaign to the Gulf of Mexico, to research the effects of the Deepwater Horizon blowout on the Apex predator of the Gulf, the Sperm Whale. We stayed in contact daily over the course of the five-month campaign, even sexting and sending each other naked pics. The month we spent together was crazy, the...

The most stupid and most true quote I've ever heard is "one day someone will walk into your life and you'll realise why it's never worked with anyone else." You simply can't force it.

I really enjoyed reading your story. Thank you for sharing such personal details. Life can be difficult especially when it comes to making decisions regarding relationships, love in general and work. I've been in a long distance relationship for more then a year and it didn't work out after all. You have amazing job and get to see the world. It must be hard working 7 days a week, but that's the price you're paying for the privilege of travelling. Don't feel bad about yourself. As long as you're being honest with girls no harm done.

Just as I'm preparing myself to take a break from Sea Shepherd and try earn some money, I got asked to do the campaign to the Faroe Islands to stop the slaughter of Pilot Whales, as chief cook on one of our vessels.

So I look to be at sea for at least six weeks, but as with everything it could be much longer.

I...

Six months ago I yet again set sail with Sea Shepherd, this time to protect Antarctic waters from illegal fishing and poaching of Patagonian/Antarctic Toothfish aka Chilean Seabass.

So after leaving Wellington at the beginning of December, I have sailed four oceans, from the ice of Antarctica to the searing heat of the equator off the coast of West Africa, almost 20000 nautical miles sailed,...

Thursday was quite a freaky day, I was at work going about my business when an email I had been waiting for since January arrived.

A few weeks ago I got some bad news, an email from crew operations of Sea Shepherd Australia sent me a mail saying I was surplus to requirements, this left me rather out of sorts as I was assured I...
