Dredger STILL here!

Sunday 13th September: This morning it took 30 men (engineers, deckies, linesmen and a pilot) and two tugs over three hours to shift the Africa Mercy 200 metres along the dock, so the dredger Argonaut I could dredge in our usual berth...we had scarcely re-opened the gangway in our new position when a message came back from the dredging company that their survey ship reckoned our berth was deep enough and didn't need dredging after all! (I could have told them that! I know precisely how deep the water is under our ship)...anyway, we're schduled to move back to our original berth in the next couple of hours. A very pleasant way to spend a Sunday, eh? Olly
