In two weeks, the Logos Hope will visit Barbados. Ruben has just finished a TV advertisement which is broadcast in the island. I share it with you, and I hope that its local flavour will warm up the cold autumn.

[Scarborough, Tobago]
PST Scarborough - here they come! As each semester the crew changeover is a unique and festive event. And this year they were 96 to join the Pre Ship Training (PST) from Scarborough on the island of Tobago.
Among them, two French ... the community grows a little. All these volunteers are joining the Logos Hope for two years. They will first go through a training to prepare them for the ministry of the ship and safety at sea, then they will join their work department.
As for the IT team, this means a lot of laptop to check!!

[St Vincent and the Grenadines]
After two weeks in St Vincent it's time to share somes pictures...
It's a really beautifull country, with jungle...
and black sand beaches, due to it's volcano (La Soufrière). The Grenadines have whit sand du to the Corals, but I haven't been there.
Last weekend, I went on a trip to this volcano with 2 friends, Ruben and Markus.
After one hour and a half, shaken in a crowded bus full of reggae music, we finally arrived in Gergetown. But the weather was pretty bad, so we drop the hike for a walk on the beach... with nices waves!
This is how I enjoy my days off, but the rest of the time (which is 6 days a week) are pretty busy as well. The Logos Hope has experienced har biggest crowds. Compared to Europe, it's amazing! 43506 visitors came on board, and they bought more books than in the 4 ports of Edinburgh, Belfast, Cardiff and London together! We have much more educational books than before, and they have a great success. As for me, I had the opportunity to take part of a church service in a prison and to meet with locals who are learning french.

[Atlantic Ocean]
During the Atlantic crossing, the work continues, but the atmosphere is more relax, and it's also a time full of discoveries:
Animals
For the first time, I see dolphins, wales (let's say their water spray), flying fishes and plankton !!!!
Sport
Playing Basket ball ! (and losing the ball during the game...)
Food
Drinking desalinated water
BBQ in the middle of the ocean.
Rest
Changing time zone every 2 days.
sleeping under the stars, and being rocked by the waves. (and we see thousands of stars here!)

[Cork, Ireland]Joyeux 14 juillet!
Ce soir, le Logos Hope quitte l’Europe, et prend le cap pour les Caraïbes. On a célébré ‘ca avec Ruben, Betsy, Jérémie et Alice, les 4 autres Français à bord.
Alors que l’ on quitte Cork, nous goutons déjà à lui pluie (tropicale ;o) mais il ne manque que la température!
C’est partie pour 14 jours de mer à travers l’Atlantique. La météo nous prévoit du gros temps pour le début, mais j’ai hâte de vivre ça !
