For the non-technical crew who lived at Appelsbosch, a friend designed a t-shirt – “I survived Appelsbosch” and so since we have the t-shirt, we were just missing the photo and so here it is – a photo of some of us who survived Appelsbosch.
The Africa Mercy is only days away from leaving Durban here in South Africa and return to West Africa. The Project Teams are doing their final tests and we are having fire and emergency drills and securing for sailing – next stop Freetown, Sierra Leone.
I have moved out of my previous office and have returned to Deck 3 Forward of the ship. This photo shows the pile I look at daily – though thankfully over half of these things will leave once we arrive in Sierra Leone as they belong to my friend Jean Claude and to Off Ship Projects. Another photo will follow once things have been moved.
