A flotilla from the Sound Sailing Center circles in front of the United Nations Building in support of Captain Peter Willcox and the Arctic 30. The sailboats executed 30 circles on the East River to honor the 28 Greenpeace International activists and Arctic Sunrise crew and a freelance photographer and freelance videographer currently held in a Murmansk detention centre following a peaceful protest at Gazprom’s Prirazlomnaya platform in the Pechora Sea.
Willcox sometimes teaches at the sailing school in his hometown of Norwalk, Connecticut.
