During our time in Tenerife this year a swimmingpool will be installed on Deck 8. Here a picture of the swimming pool being loaded onto deck 8.
We are serving with Mercy Ships on board the Africa Mercy. Ananda works in the Engineering department and Lia works in Hospital Supply. Rick (9) and Andre (7) are students in the Academy on board.

Christmas 2009
Our first Christmas on board the Africa Mercy. Previous years we've gone to the Netherlands to visit Family during the Christmas days. This year we stayed on board and enjoyed the 'ships' traditions. Ananda and Andre went to visit the Russian training ship docked just in front of us and Christmas eve we had a lovely dinner with turkey & ham and for dessert pecan pie.
In the evening we all put our shoes outside our cabin to find lots of presents in the morning. At Christmas day had a big brunch with different bread, cheeses, lots of fresh fruit and delicious cakes. In the afternoon we went for a walk to the park and playarea, all in all we had a great day.

Whales, Dolphins, Waterspouts
Wow, what a sail so far. Yesterday when we went for dinner Andre said :"Mam, there is a tornado in the sky". It turned out to be a waterspout, I have never seen that before.
Then just after dinner we saw dolphins, sperm whales and of course the ever present flying fish.
Just now, while I'm sitting here and look out of the window in my cabin I see more whales. God is certainly blessing us this trip with showing off His awesome creation.
