We were waiting for several weeks before the coal freighter Charles Parsons appeared in our sights. Greenpeace had decided to up the ante and protest against fresh coal being delivered to the infamous power station Kingsnorth where various protests had taken place in the past.
Covering this event involved not only a lot of patience, but also strength and persistence as we spent nearly 30 hours in an inflatable from beginning to end. Encountering rough waves, cold, sleep deprivation and also police keen to arrest us, this job was out of the ordinary. Unfortunately, the boys in blue did confiscate a sizeable amount of the photos I produced that night, and here are some of those they didn't get their lawful hands on. I hope this gives you an idea...
