The perfect curling waves.... sometimes crash hard

So I realize that I am crap at actually posting. I guess between work and having fun, there's not much time to just sit on the computer. I'm doing well.... tired... slightly sick... but overall doing well. We finally got out of drydock today, so i am no longer living on a construction sight but rather a floating construction site. We have water again onboard, so no more hikes down the dock just to brush the teeth. However, the color of water is a bit off.... kind tea-ish like. hah... guess old pipes are no good after sitting dry for over two weeks.

On Friday, we got off work early and visited a nearby shanti town, Duncan Village. Some of the crew onboard had established relationships with the people there last time the ship was here in '99. Instead of just sweeping floors and cleaning toliets, I saw why we were doing what we were. The joy that the people had was incredible even by our quick visit. The ship is currently not doing any outreach in South Africa, but rather just undergoing shipyard repairs, so it is easy to get caught up in the unfinished projects and crazy ship life and forget why we are here.

Saturday we hit up the Lion's Park. See below for some pics... there's lots more but these are just some of the fun ones.

The beaches here are a surfers heaven... well minus the sharp cliffs and rocks along the coast. With it being winter here, the beach was pretty much empty when we went to it on Sunday, but absolutely gorgeous. I'll post pictures soon, but they aren't on my camera.

Things are a bit hard at work right now with my boss returning and the culture barriers between 5 different nationalities. I gotta run. There'll be more later... hopefully before a week goes by again.
