Our beautiful evening departure from Cape Town, South Africa after a 25 hour stop over from our journey from Durban South Africa to Freetown, Sierra Leone. The backdrop is the beautiful Table Mountain.
Sailing out of Durban

Appelsbosch Group Photo with T-shirts
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.
AFM Shipyard in Durban
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.
Pile in my new office
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.
Thank You Event Tour
After I posted the photo of Donovan giving a tour, I found on Facebook a friend who was in my group posted a couple photos – so I copied them here for you all to see and enjoy. I love how the hospital staff set up the room with a stuffed animal on the table with the mask and the bright lights – they did a great job.
