The 'MV SANDRA' visited Roberts Bank today, the first port on her maiden voyage.
There is always something special about a brand new ship: shiny paint, no rust, clean white ropes and just like you enter your brand new car...... that smell of brand new materials! However, when the ship leaves dry dock for its maiden voyage it is often equipped with only the bare minimum for the crew. Especially when it comes to entertainment and exercise equipment.
Two weeks ago a friend of mine had given me an almost new tread mill machine, suggesting I should use it in order to lose some weight! ( I have very nice friends who care or worry about my weight ). When I boarded the ship I soon realized that there was no exercise equipment onboard. I immediately found an opportunity to give away my 'gift', so I donated it to the captain and the crew. Of course they were extremely delighted. With it came a load of fresh vegetables, some warm clothing, a few bibles and a 'Jesus DVD'. I left a very happy crew behind. The pictures below tell the rest of the story!
