Advance Team Briefing
Tonight we had our Advance Team Briefing by our amazing Advance Team on Day One here in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
Day One in Freetown, Sierra Leone
This afternoon, I was able to join the Captain, Mark T, and Donovan with Tracy our Advance Team Leader to see some of the sites in Freetown - Hospitality Center / Dental Clinic / Eye Screening Site / National Stadium for Surgical Screening / Team House / Berth #1 where the water taxis arrive after crossing the river from the airport. This is going to be a great field service!!

We continue on our journey towards Sierra Leone in West Africa - teams are there awaiting our arrival. I guess we missed a previously mentioned storm as we did not encounter the 15' waves - thankfully.

Sailing out of Durban
We are sailing once again !!!! We left Durban, Kwa Zulu Natal, South Africa on Thursday. It is good to leave and sail once again. Appreciate your prayers for the journey to Freetown, Sierra Leone, - back in West Africa.
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.
