Yes, the end of the Field Service is upon us. We sail shortly to South Africa - and it is a strange feeling. Bitter-sweet, would be the way to describe it. Of course I am over the moon about sailing to my home nation. But this feeling is mixed with a heavy heart as we say farewell to our friends here in Togo. It has been a pleasure being docked in Lome and I will miss this place dearly.
That being said here are some photos thanks to one of our Dining Room crew members, Sean Kerr, that give a glimpse into an important part of our sail preparation - loading the Land Rovers.
First the vehicle is driven into a support attached to the crane far above.
It is then secured by the Deckies and lifted up to Deck 8.
And up it goes!
