Today we were supposed to reach our first landing in Sri Lanka at the port of Galle. Unfortunately in this unprotected port the seas were rough with significant rolling swells and the ship was rocking side to side. After launching three of the lifeboats they found that they were getting jammed under the landing deck. So, after careful consideration, the Captain ended up canceling this port. Too bad, but better safe than sorry.
Our friends Paul and Kathy were supposed to meet a friend who runs an orphanage they have sponsored. They are constructing a library addition that they are going to see and then stay at his house overnight and pick up the ship in Colombo tomorrow.
Unfortunately, after their friend drove three hours to meet them at Galle he was unable to pick them up because the ship didn’t stop! He’ll now meet them in Colombo.
We will now arrive in Colombo, Sri Lanka, our next port of call, around 6 pm this evening.
Thanks Captain for looking out for us!
