The MV Yna Auk and Langley Bibles for Missions Thrift Store

Last week friends of ours returned home to Vancouver after a two week Panama Canal cruise vacation. Their voyage was filled with problems including two broken main engines and avoiding docking at any Mexican ports due to the Mexican swine flu. The delays resulted in a ten day non-stop voyage, all the way to the Port of Vancouver!

One of my friends complained that ten days at sea is way too long! I told him that I had just visited the MV Yna Auk at Roberts Bank and learned that the ship's destination is Great Britain. Ship and crew will be at sea for more than 50 days without any land in sight!

I feel sorry for these men when they have to travel for such a long time. I can't imagine what it's like, especially when I get impatient taking a two hour BC Ferry ride.

This past week I also made a visit to the Langley Bibles for Missions store to pick up mugs, stuffed animals and some puzzles. I also picked up a large selection of video's, music cassette's, CD's and even a video machine and a ghetto blaster! It all went to the MV Yna Auk including a few jackets for the cook and his helpers as well as lots of vegetables. Hopefully the voyage will be a little shorter with all these gifts from the Thrift store.

The MV Yna Auk left on May 21st, planning to arrive in Great Britain around the 12th of July.
