On a boat in the middle of the Atlantic, an Aussie family got a glimpse of the real Greta Thunberg

The Australian couple who sailed Greta Thunberg across the Atlantic for the UN COP25 climate summit say people would be shocked to see how vulnerable the teen climate activist is.

Australia and NZ need to let internationally flagged vessels enter our harbours safe from cyclones before the season begins in the Pacific. Let these people into our harbours to anchor for 14 days of quarantine (or more if necessary) but get them out of harms way.

Going through old footage makes me love Elayna even more. She is a tough cookie. Wisdom teeth, sleep depravation, inclement weather, rocking boat, running out of food, weeks away at sea, missing friends and family. Can’t think of one girl that would have pulled through all that.
