Abandoning the Ship



The call came around noon.  The seas had gotten too rough and it was time to abandon ship.  Frightened and cold, we donned our lifejackets and huddled in our muster stations.  Boarding the lifeboats was a challenge but we all pulled together and made it onboard safe and sound.

I snapped one last picture as we pulled away from the ship and we made our way to shore.  It was a harrowing journey over rough seas.  Thankfully we made it safely to the shores of Namibia and are now recuperating from the day. 

Hard to believe it happened today…





April Fool’s.  None of that actually happened.  The picture above is from a water taxi we took in Mauritius.  We are safe and sound and on our way to Ghana.
