The sail

The cool thing about a ship being a hospital ship is that when its the end of a field service instead of having to pack everything down into containers and have them shipped to the next place and the expense of all the staff going home just to come back again, is that the ship can hold all of the staff and equipment and simply move. This week we sailed from Freetown Sierra Leone to Téma Ghana and we made here without any issues.

The Cross on the Bow

 Dolphins just off the Bow - How cool???

 A quick (12hours) stop for fuel in the Atlantic Ocean

 Land Ho - Téma Port, Ghana

 The Welcome party from the Advance team

Along the way we had a few interesting things to see like flying fish, whales and dolphins it was also a time of reflection. Along with a time of learning as Réka and I spent a lot of time together both planning the wedding and completing our marriage counselling in preparation of out new life together.

 The best book store front I've seen todate

The first day that we could leave the ship was on Friday so Réka and I went into Accra to sort out some visa stuff that needed to be done for Réka for her return from holiday over christmas and we saw this book store on the drive back, while we were in Accra after sorting the visa stuff we went to look at a few rings for our wedding to get an idea of design and prices. When we saw the ring below we both knew this was the ring that we wanted for our wedding.

The ring has 3 bands of gold, 1 rose gold to represent Réka , 1 white gold to represent God and 1 of yellow gold to represent me. We both have the same ring design to represent unity in our commitment to God and Marriage.
