When The Boat Doesn´t Come In

a boat in the dock, a shame it´s not ours

Another failing day today.

Our shipment from Miami should have arrived on Monday. Rumour has it that it has been anchored offshore for two days now, but hasn´t been able to dock in the wharf.

security is tight at the docks, but J-L gets us in

No food has arrived in to the orphanage this month, and supplies are at an all time low. Jean-Luc and I head down to the dock to try and speed up the process, but it does no good whatsoever.

Fortunately, no-one has gone hungry...yet. Here´s hoping for better news tomorrow.

Editor´s Addition: We are told this morning (08.04.10) that the boat was unable to dock on three separate occasions in three different docks. Following the earthquake, the wharf is too shallow for boats to off-load cargo. Outside aid is trying to get through to us, and yet we remain bereft of supplies both from the airport and wharves. Can you sense my frustrations?
