Moving House

Whilst Anne was lying in a hospital bed yesterday the dockyard made us all move house. Or at least move our house (ship). A dredger has been busy for the last couple of weeks clearing silt from the harbour to ensure that the ships can get in and out safely, and yesterday they wanted to dredge the piece of dock where we've been berthed for 7 months. So we started engines, lifted gangways, cast off lines and (with the help of a couple of tugs) moved the M/V Africa Mercy a couple of hundred metres towards the harbour mouth. Then after a few hours we moved back again. Now how many of you have ever moved house twice in one day?
