So near and yet...

We're within site of Benin but due to a fault in one of our engine control systems we've had to go to anchor whilst the engineers work hard to fix it. If you've never been at anchor, at sea, in a flat bottomed ship, in a rolling swell you are blessed!! It is the only time I dislike the motion of a ship at sea. The vessel just wallows, pitches and rolls totally at the sea's mercy which is very uncomfortable.

Please pray with us that God will help the engineers repair the fault so that we can get alongside and start the work He has called us to do. We've already missed our ETA of 14:00 and so our friends will all be sat on the dock waiting for us........
