The Strait of Gibraltar

[at Sea, Strait of Gibraltar]

Many things have happened since the Logos Hope left Liberia. The ship has visited two ports in the Canary Islands: Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Santa Cruz de Tenerife. After a long season in english speaking ports, both visits were opportunities to see how the crew adjust to a culture where they don't speak the language and many enjoyed learning or improving their Spanish.

In Las Palmas, we had the annual renewal of the crew. Among the 64 newcomers, we were excited to welcome Jocelyn, a French guy who brings his joy and vitality to the small French community on board. (center of the picture)

The Logos Hope is now sailing to Malta, and we just passed the Strait of Gibraltar: a magic moment between Africa and Europe. Two whales were even there!

[Monrovia, Liberia]
I haven't given much updates of the Help projects in West Africa, and in particular in Liberia. The 3 weeks in port were very fruitful. Practical help and friendship were built. One of the highlight was a small dental clinic took place in the Redemption Hospital, giving free care to hundreds of patients.

Have a look at this documentary:
