"Rock 'n Roll..."

The last few days have been a bit of a challenge for the crew aboard the Africa Mercy.  We have hit some challenging weather, which has caused our "box ship" to do a lot of rocking and rolling.

The Africa Mercy was originally designed as a Danish train ferry.  Which means it is a box shape to allow for the train cars to be loaded and it has more of a flat bottom.  This now causes our little hospital ship to rock and roll a lot rougher than a ship that was built for the open ocean.

The day before all of the weather, I was on deck 7, starboard side, taking pictures of the sunset-while on the port side, the moon was rising...

Notice the calm waters....

Yesterday, Mike went to the bridge to get these awesome shots of the bow...

Once again, I am reminded of the God who created this ocean. The vastness of the ocean and  the power it holds is small compared to the power and the vastness of the Creator!
