Peter, 62, and his wife Maggy live on an island off the coast of Maine, USA. He has been a regular skipper on Greenpeace boats for 34 years and is the only person to have taken the helm of all three ships named Rainbow Warrior. He is currently working on a book covering his time with Greenpeace which is scheduled for release in 2016. He says the work he is most proud of was also Rainbow Warrior I’s last campaign. In 1985, shortly before heading to New Zealand, the Rainbow Warrior was used to help move the residents of Rongelap to a safer atoll as their own island was contaminated by radiation from the US nuclear testing programme.
