So today we sail out of Liberia!!!! I have already taken one of my special seasickness pills from my friend that are meant to be better than generic as they are from Switzerland and have the slightest amount of caffeine so you stay awake to enjoy sailing! So here`s believing in faith that it will do the trick!
I feel like a small child anticipating a holiday!
So exciting.
We did a lifeboat drill this morning this gives us one more practice but also allows for us account for all crew before the sail. This is known as a "mustering".
When the first alarm sounds emergency teams go to their stations. At the second alarm all crew go to their muster station which is on deck 7 while at sea. We await the captains order`s and if appropriate he would call for an "abandon ship".
Here is a picture of my lifeboat station, Michael is on the bridge(the part of the ship where the sailing happens and orgnisation during these drills occurs) as assistant purser its his job to help account for everyone as muster sheets are handed in and then would just walk out the door and join me if we had to go in the lifeboats.
Goodbye Liberia....
Love from the smooth seas of West Africa.

You guys certainly get to wear interesting coloured gear! Last July it was funky red braces with your fire-fighting gear, now orange life vests. Now all you have to do, Sarah, is design a new colour for the operating gowns.
Enjoy reading your posts!
