Liberia ahoy, 2am Monday morning! Got up in our P.J.s to see the ship start its final voyage. It was a little rocky & my stomach not so happy so I thought I'd pop a Anti~Drowsy Dramanine tablet before heading back to bed, MD orders. Little did I know "anti~drowsy" means "less drowsy" and if any of you have ever been around me when I've taken Benadryl... this is like that x 10!! very entertaining when I manage to come out of being comatose! I don't think my neurons were firing in my head for a full 24hrs... my head was completely numb & I slept 18/24hrs... every couple of hours my roommates shaking me awake to make sure I was still with em'. Same reaction to about 1/4 of the ship, everyone sprawled out, drooling, running into walls.. what a mess!

Had a sleepover outside on the bow with the girls and got up to watch the sunrise the next morning... woke up many times during the night..each time the sky more beautiful than the last.. staring at the gorgeous stars & waves, the questions on my heart lately seemed to become peaceful with the sights of our beautiful creator... if he can create such splendor.. surely he can be trusted with the details of my life...
Day 3: Captain Steph Day! Up to the bridge where Sailor Josh showed us the way....
... good thing I'm not on my meds today ;) Just off the coast of Cote Ivoire,
how'd I do??.... right on course..straight ahead...see for yourself!
storm kicked in...headed in for some sWaYing crew Irish linedancin' lessons.

As you can see.. it has not been boring here, I would LOVE another week of sailing! But... tomorrow we should head into Monrovia, Liberia in the late morning, singing our horribly out of key randition of "Hail Liberia" National Anthem to the welcoming party. For now, i'll will enjoy the fresh ocean breeze and the gentle swaying that lalls me to sleep :) Good night *
