Up, Up and Away!!!

Yesterday most of our vehicles were loaded on board. There are 30 of them and they will be lifted up and placed on the top deck and fastened down for the sail.
What it means is that we are getting ready. Getting ready for a 6 day sail to Tenerife in the Canary Islands where we will spend 5 weeks in technicle mode, fixing, maintaining, surveying...
I love a sail. All crew is on board, a new venture to come.
So, the dock has been cleared of all the dockside units where patients are admitted and cataract patients come for their patches to be removed and patients come to be screened for surgeries. An amazing place during our times in Africa, now dismantled and stored on board. Drills and checks and engines tested and stowaway searches and bicycles loaded on and last departures and arrivals, though more departures than arrivals at this point.
Scurrying, Scurrying......
