As we entered the port we had an amazing reception from the local people of Ghana. All the ships in port were dressed in their best ceremonial international flags, hooting their horns as we passed them. A fire engine drove along the dockside with its siren blazing away to underline the importance of our visit. Some 11,000 miles since we left Jakarta in August, and just 32 two days since we left Cape Town some 3000 miles away. This is a voyage that none of the crew will ever forget. We have developed very strong friendships and will be making the most of those over the next week as we wind down and prepare the ship for transportation back to Indonesia.

In the meantime, the crew would like to thank all the individuals who have followed our progress on the website and those who have sent messages of support. It has been fantastic to share our experience with you.
