Stephano Balestra - 40 years old - Switzerland

Stephano is a banker for which green has other associations than money. The environment is his favourite hunting ground for risky investments, and The Changing Oceans Expedition was irresistible prey. Understated and chatty, he readily swaps his suit and tie for a pair of shorts to come aboard Fleur de Passion and delight the crew with anecdotes and witty observations on everything from whale sightings to recalcitrant sails. Of course his extensive knowledge of environmental economics also makes for serious counseling during discussions on the future of the expedition. Ideally these occur over healthy helpings of spaghetti in gorgonzola sauce, a recipe he uses to great affect to boost his popularity aboard.
