Yup! We've come to the end of our visit in Montego Bay, yet this doesn't mean we're leaving Jamaica altogether! We will be spending the next three weeks in Kingston, Jamaica! Rumors have it that Kingston has less tourists and we'll have less "opportunists" bothering us for money. But they also say that this town has quite a problem when it comes to crime. These are the rumors, we'll find out soon enough whether they're accurate or not!
Honestly, I'm not sad to have left Montego Bay, with all the (almost) daily berth shifting, and the moving of the sewage discharge lines that go alone with each shift, (See picture, dismanteling the lines with Olya, Russia), not to mention the opportunists. These people are taken in by the hunger for money, going as far as faking friendships to make a couple of dollars. It's hard to face this reality, but I think Montego Bay was even more materialistic minded than people in Europe.. We've served God in this port as we have in every other. All we can do for those who work among these people every day is: pray!
Otherwise work goes on! I'm almost done retracing the fresh water pipe plans in the engine room, but may have to wait until the Bahamas to get certain copper pieces that I need to assemble everything.You can also see by the picture that we've finished building the main work table in the plumbing shop (made of a steel structure and a aluminium plate top) which will make live easier for us!
