Those lights you see in the horizon, that would be Benin. Due to engine problems that have not been fixed yet we are currently at anchor just off the coast of Cotonou. The faults were discovered right before we set in for our approach to the port. Although we will spend another night at sea..... I am thankful the problems were discovered before we attempted to dock. Maybe tomorrow I will set my feet on solid ground and then again maybe not. At least we are safe.... and we can see our new city in the distance.
