That’s how Breezy Grenier describes herself.

This episode of Blue Earth is a conversation with Breezy. She’s on the go but we caught up with her just after she got her new 200 ton Captain’s license, and before the Downeast Challenge sailing race from Marblehead, Massachusetts to Boothbay Harbor, Maine.

Breezy is a multidisciplinary ocean scientist by education, and also an accomplished mariner, educator and business entrepreneur. A modern day explorer with the ocean being her home, workplace and playground.

She shares stories about being at sea, including both the Arctic and the Antarctic, and what it was like aboard NOAA’s Okeanus Explorer. She said that unfortunately she sees plastic most everywhere she goes, even in the middle of the ocean.
