Falmouth Harbour again, somehow it seems very good to be here, especially after our night sail. In the morning we woke up about 9 am and soon got the shambles of the boat organised, it looked a bit like a washing machine inside, we bundled up all the dirty washing, towels, sheets etc and prepared to go ashore and see the customs. The night before we had literally dropped the anchor at the entrance as soon as it was safe to do so, and when we woke up we found we were anchored just off the reef, but in quite a [View Full Entry]

Bequia to Antigua Sitting in Bequia trying to make sense of the weather. Chris Parker on the single side band, his voice scratchily coming over the ocean from Tortola, says there is a huge low in the north of the Caribbean which will cause 85mph wind in that area. The result of this is that there will be a ‘swell event’. In the Caribbean this means some huge waves and up to 13’ at 10 second intervals. He was not that clear about when it would arrive. So we decided to head up north as quickly as possible. We went to [View Full Entry]

I will apolagise now as after I promised I would do no dangerous activites we were offered the chance to climb a volcano and get really close to flowing lava... At the time it sounded a great idea. The 6 am start to get to Pakaya wasn´t ideal, the 2 hour hike to get to the lava (only 4km..) again wasn´t that fun but I did get pictures of lava!! The hike up was through jungle, then sand and then lava rock that crumbled under your feet. Both Amy and I have lava rock scars from it falling onto our legs [View Full Entry]

Left the beautiful Panajachel to return to Antigua. As this has been the cleanest place we have been to I was glad to be going back to spend some more time here. We got in around lunch time and being the creatures of habit we have turned into we went back to the place we spent New Year for some lunch with Amy and Heather. Aimee and I then did the coffee plantation tour. I do realise that I don´t drink the coffee but you know, it´s good to know where things come from :-) Actually the tour was really interesting [View Full Entry]

Hello, I have to say again, because I just typed all this and somehow lost it! Arriving back in Jolly Harbour this time has been so different. I think I love Delroy because the boat is amazing! It is clean, polished, and good. Still lots to do, but it has made such a difference. Even the stainless steel has been cleaned. We have put up the bimini and spray hood and Alan has replaced the alternator, and checked generator, engine etc etc. Cannot believe so much has been acheived in one day. When we arrived last night we were really tired [View Full Entry]

Ok, i will now pause and allow everyone 5 minutes to get out all of the gay jokes in their head about the title of this blog. Irish men age 30 and older: I've grown to respect a lot of Irish men in this country. I think the men here have a bad rap about being mean ol drunks or just drunks in general, but such is not the case. For sure there a few who are blackout, messed up dolts, like our neighbor Fergal or me friday night, but they're are a lot of what we like to pretend we [View Full Entry]

Well our trip has finally come to an end after a long day of waiting for one airplane to be fixed, shopping on Antigua and waiting at the airport for our Delta flight home! What a terrific trip with an incredible group of students and adults. The team was prepared for the task, but did a great job of trusting in God for strength and not themselves. We truly lived up to our theme: Souls Saved . Lives Changed Thank you to all who had a part in giving and praying for this trip. The blog has been updated with pictures [View Full Entry]

Around 4 we arrived at our camping site. It was different from the other beach we went to because there were more waves and rocks and stuff (pollution.) The boys set up the tents while the girls played in the ocean. Soon, they joined us! For dinner, we experienced true Barbudan food :roti, fried chicken, and bakes. Roti is a burrito- type wrap filled with curry chicken and potatoes. After dinner we split up into boys and girls to have a small group service. Before we went to bed, we took a beautiful walk on the beach. The moon was full [View Full Entry]

This morning was VBS and this time we had power, PRAISE GOD. More and more kids came so we know tomorrow will be absolutely packed. Today we talked about sin and how it separates us from God. Then after lunch and stuff we all did a local service project. The guys cleaned up the church computer lab, which was a mess! The girls helped clean up the school. Tonight for dinner we had a little taste of home- PIZZA :] Tonight was the last night of the Power of Sex series, and probably the most powerful. PB and Kami spoke about [View Full Entry]

Greetings from Barbuda, I want to start by saying that we serve an awesome God who has showed up in a beautiful and mighty way! This morning was our last morning of VBS and it felt bitter-sweet. We have been averaging about 150 children, praise the Lord! Worship was fun and exciting as it has been all week. It is wonderful to hear the children sing father Abraham in their adorable accents! The group that led today was John S., Amanda, and Lucy. They had the opportunity to share the message of Salvation in a creative and exciting way. When they [View Full Entry]
