Above and beyond the call of duty

This week's Above & Beyond the Call of Duty Award goes to my colleage and good friend Moses Turay from Freetown, Sierra Leone, who dropped everything on Thursday morning to travel upcountry to rescue a broken down Land Rover. He took only a handful of tools and the clothes he wore, and travelled 6 hours north, stayed in a local guest-house overnight, and then towed the Land Rover south for 8 hours before he got back to the ship late Friday. And Saturday saw him off on another rescue mission to a stranded Land Rover on the beach road with a broken jack and wrench. What a good guy! Olly
