All at sea

Well after 10 months of BENIN we are back at sea and heading for Tenerife. After a final week full of red tape, paperwork, missed deadlines and false promises we somehow managed (God's goodness) to get everything we needed in place to sail. So yesterday at approc 11:00 we sailed out of the harbour and waved goodbye to a handfull of people on the dock. It wasn't the most memorable departure, but for me at least it was one that I've looked forward to the most. Benin is a great country with lots of nice people who really appreciated the help that Mercy Ships offered - but for the Purser it was very, very hard work. Here are some pics of the ward being cleaned, lifting vehicles onboard, and other stuff.
