Just a short one to say that after eleven days at sea the M/V Africa Mercy safely docked in the port city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain, at around 08h30 this morning (Saturday 19th December). Thank you for your prayers and praise God for a safe arrival! Here are some photos of our arrival in Tenerife.

Good friends make for good photo opportunities!

Getting closer!

Crew members watch as the AFM is nudged closer and closer to the dock.

Hardworking deckies secure ropes on the aft mooring deck.
Our faithful friend who greets us each year with hymns and carols on his trumpet.
Nearly there!
The Gangway is down!
And the AFM is safely docked in Tenerife!
