Our blog goes global

One of the most exciting things we have seen in the past couple of weeks is how many people are starting to read this blog right across the world. Thanks to the wonders of Google Analytics, I can see that since the start of the year we have had visits from 25 countries on 6 continents. So welcome to our blog if you are reading this anywhere from Chile to Japan. Please say hi using the comments section below, we'd love to know who you are.
This week we are having a lot of discussions about what happens when we leave Kiel. We hope the ship will sail from here on 24th April and head to a drydock in Sweden. That depends on whether we have received a generator onboard that is coming from India. The main reason for the drydock is to cut a hole in the side and load the generator. We should know in the next couple of weeks if we will get that in time. Then we hope to go to Copenhagen for a couple of months to complete the outfit works.
We are getting excited about a team of 12 coming from our church in Edinburgh on 9th Feb to work on board for a week. I am planning to take some time out to get alongside and help them get into the work.
Liam is getting very excited about his birthday on Monday, 4th. We have been planning what form his party should take and of course it will always be difficult to get it right so as not to upset some kid somewhere.
Logos 2 is getting ready to sail to the Caribbean next week. They loaded 40 tonnes of food and provisions and 300 pallets of books over the weekend. We hope everyone needed to sail will be in place by next week so she can sail on 6th.
That's all for today - remember to say hi if you are reading this for the first time.
