I think it was yesterday when I was thinking about the ship being out of water. About how we have to hook up to shore power, and how Mercy Ships has to pay lots of money to pump out all the grey and black water. It dawned on me that it is like we are in a trailer park. Sure we can pull away and travel around, but sometimes we have to stop and be reliant on the resources around us; we can't be independent all the time. I suppose that applies to all of us. We are free to roam around and make our own choices but we need something to come back to; where we can get recharged and pump out all the junk. They certainly have a sense of humour about the black water transportation vehicle:
Yes, it says "stool bus".
The good news is that soon Mercy Ships won't have to pay so much to get rid of our waste because we are leaving Durban. The hope is to set sail for Madagascar sometime next week. The deck department worked some serious overtime today on the chain locker! I hope that they will have a good rest when we finally get back to Tamatave. Things never go as expected around here so when plans change it shouldn't be a surprise.
Have a great weekend and a wonderful week!
