Cork, Ireland

3rd-12th June 2005.

We joined the ship a week after it arrived in Cork as we spent some extra time in England visiting our churches and family. Soon after we arrived the ship went into dry dock mode as there is a lot of work that was needed to be done if the ship was to carry on it's ministry.

It is often said that the ship is held together by prayer! Well the pictures below show what the steel work was like once the floor of one particular cabin revealed as part of drydock preparations.

Broken Thumb!
