The Anastasis Final Sail

After 5 weeks of the Anastasis and the Africa Mercy docked side by side and the completion of the transition, the transfer of Crew, Equipment & Supplies from the ANA to the AFM, the Anastasis is finally prepared and ready for her final sail to a yard in India. The ANA is shown below sailing away on the 28th June with a small crew of 40. The sail to India will take approximately 28 days and on arrival she will be "beached" and then dismantled for scrap. The day she left was a bright and clear day and though the mood was quiet and sad, it was also a time of reflection, remembering all that has been achieved in her many years of service to the World's forgotten poor. So many lives transformed. Now the Africa Mercy will continue the work.
She still looks so elegant on the outside!
