Our ship, the Africa Mercy, is currently in dry dock in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, an island off Morocco. You may wonder how that works… The ship enters a narrow, water-filled berth, and a platform is raised underneath it until the ship is resting on supports. Gradually it is raised until it is completely out of water, then pulled forward on movable rails by heavy equipment. Here are photos of our exit from dry dock. First you see us resting in dry dock, as our “gangway” scaffolding is being removed. You can see the rails that have been slid over in place behind us so that we can be pulled forward…
