Towards the end of our time in a country, certain events begin to happen which add to the reality of the ship leaving-dock pack up and on ship drills.
We have a Mercy Team* here helping us pack up the four tents we were using on the dock and doing other jobs that need extra hands as we prepare the ship to sail. (*A Mercy Team is a group of individuals who come for a period of time when the ship needs extra manpower to get things done. They can either be a team assembled from different places or a team from a church-they are GREATLY appreciated! )
Then there are the "at sea muster drills". Where we practise putting on our life jackets and going to our life boat stations.
Joshua and me (Alisia gets to stay on the air conditioned ship in reception!)
For the first time in three years, Mike actually has to practise putting on his life jacket!
