Today is my final (at least for now) day aboard Logos Hope. In the morning devotions there were more briefings about making ready for sea and safety when sailing. This included (and I kid you not) the instruction not to vomit into the wind! In some ways I am rather jealous of those that are going to be sailing for Sweden in a few days time. Obviously it would have made my journey home a little more complicated, but it would certainly have been exciting. Another time perhaps. As the ship leaves from Køge, it marks a real change in focus – from all the project work that has gone in to converting and fitting out the ship from being a ferry to an OM ministry ship. There is a real atmoshpere of excitement and anticipation on board, as well as a hint of aprehension! Still, OM doesn’t run ships for the sake of it – ministry is what they do.

I’ve really enjoyed my time on board – it’s been absolutely fascinating and a really good insight to what a huge project Logos Hope has been, and continues to be. I wish all the crew and volunteers a safe and enjoyable voyage!
