Tuesday 8th December, 11.40am: The Pilot came onboard surprisingly early, and the gangway was lifted by 10.30. We are already in the open sea, and rolling ever so slightly. Leaving the port sent a shiver down my spine - the dock contained many cheering well-wishers, some of whom we didn't even know, but also including the Togo Advance Team, the Togo Mercy Team, and the Togo Water & Sanitation Field Coordinator - all of whom will now drive to Togo to prepare for the Africa Mercy's arrival in February (please pray for them - Brenda, Joan, Chris, Michaell, and Mark & Nari & their family). Thus begins day one at sea. Olly
