An extraordinary young man

Three months ago a Maersk container ship came into the Port of Cotonou. Their 3rd Officer was a young Irishman called Billy, who wandered over to the Africa Mercy whilst his ship was being unloaded, to see what we do. He was sufficiently impressed, and completed an application form there and then before he sailed away again. This week he left his Maersk ship as soon as it came back into port, and joined the Africa Mercy as 3rd Officer, with a two month commitment. Great. If only more professional seamen joined us this way. Olly
