My uncle Guy who was chief mechanic on-board the Calypso oceanographic ship talked to me a lot about his voyages with Jacques Cousteau.
Cousteau devoted his life to the discovery of the sea world and to communicate about it. One of his last trips in 1990 was on the Great Barrier Reef with his son Jean-Michel.
He spoke english well, with an unmistakable french accent.
Today, it’s the Earth Day. Earth Day was created on April 22 1970. The American Senator Gaylord Nelson wanted the students to be involved in the environement.
More than 500 millions people in 184 countries are celebrating this event.
