    January 19 in Sierra Leone

    Our first glance of the Global Mercyship was from above as we drove down the hill in the minibus, by far the biggest ship in this small harbour.
    Crew meeting at 07:45, We had to stand up and be welcomed by the MD and it also included a short devotion as well as the importance of sorting the waste into the correct containers.
    Captain informed us that practice drills were compulsory and which cabins would be inspected!
    10:00 hrs, departmental induction with Joery, all in Dutch. Our shift doesn't start untill Wednesday!
    Nausea from malaria kicks in followed by a long induction meeting!
