What do you think of oil tankers now?

I have just read about the rescue in the BBC News by the oil tanker.
I do applaud the ideal of a low carbon footprint and all the other well intentioned ideology that goes with self sustaining and less damaging forms of energy, however it would have been good to have seena wooden boat from self sustaining forests and similar environmentally friendly sails and other kit used. Unfortunately I supect the carbon footprint to outfit this expedition was considerably higher than a viking long boat.
Glad you are all safe.

"Nearly all trans-Greenland expeditions involve flying to Greenland with helicopter drop offs to traverse the ice cap. This is a different approach..."
Umm... Now you've found out why people usually use a helicopter....

Dear Rich, Raoul and Ben. We are absolutely devastated for you all, hearing the news today about the end of the expedition. So many dreams. Words do little for the disappointment but you are safe, that is the only important thing at the moment. Safe trip home boys. All the best from Alistair and Adrian at Le Rocquier.

So sorry to learn of the loss of the voyage and the yacht. But we are glad that you have been rescued safely by the tanker 'Yellowstone'. We have been following your story on www.sailers.co.uk

Hi Raoul
I saw the Guardian article dated 18 April by pure chance - had to blink twice!! What a fantastic, awe-inspiring thing to do. I wish you all every success.
Good luck and stay safe,
