We have a very special relationship with the Port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. For many years they have provided free tugs and pilots, berths, water, garbage disposal and security to Mercy Ships, and this visit alone we have been given a free berth for 5 weeks. During this time we have watched the daily comings and goings of the many ferries and ships with interest. Sadly, last night one of the pilot boats collided with a ferry and sank, and one of the crew lost his life. This happened not 100 yards from our ship - today I watched divers prepare to salvage the boat. We share the Port's loss. Please pray for the maritime community here and the deceased's family as they come to terms with their loss. Photo of one of the Port's pilot boats. Olly
