3 July - 7 July



We have had a wonderful time here on Cat Island. On Sunday ship's chaplin David Ames gave an uplifting sermon at the Old Bight Children's home, we were all truly blessed by the children and Brother and Sister Moss. A delicious fish meal was servered after the service and then it was off for a much needed nap for the captain! The Moss's were off island Monday and Tuesday so the crew filled in and got the kids to a local basketball camp, Casey pitched in as a guest coach for Monday and would have kept going for the whole week if not for boat work to ready us for the next leg to Haiti. We will be leaving tomorrow 7/8 and heading North and East so as to gain the angle needed to ride the trade winds to Cap Haitian. After a short offload of art supplies for Hosean ministries and some food for Pastor Andre we will be sailing to Great Inauga for our 7 ton load of food for the Haitian town of Los Cayes on the south coast. We will post again when possible . Blessings to all. capt. bob
