Africa Mercy Departs Douala
This morning from the decks of the ship, the crew waved farewell to a small number of port workers and a single patient, who somehow managed to appear on the dock, repeating “thank you” as we pulled away. We enjoyed a police escort to mouth of the river and will continue to be accompanied by the Cameroonian military for our first 100 miles from the coastline. We rejoice in our smooth departure.
