Dakar here we come! (and my first VLOG)


Hello from the Atlantic Ocean! We are on course to arrive in Dakar on Wednesday, but I thought I'd try something new for an update--my first vlog! (Does it count as a vlog if it's just me talking to my phone?) I'll have to experiment to make these more exciting. A few more photos are below. Be blessed this week!

Home sweet office ^_^

The AFM in drydock


It's weird to see her soooo high up!

Watching the ship come out of drydock.

From Las Palmas to Tenerife (yay, no more shipyard!)


Deck 7 with the hospital team leads.


On a hike while exploring Tenerife, we walked through a huge banana plantation.

Dirty, sweaty, happy!
