After 3 days on the “high seas” (spent in orientation and setting up the unit), we awoke to see the shore of Port Au Prince, Haiti. The Comfort is anchored about four miles off shore, for security reasons, as well as having the capability to desaliniaze the 200,000 gallons that are needed each day. From here the port looks beautiful—small white structures fading into azure waters against a backdrop of small mountains. But as we look down, we see bits of trash and garbage floating against the ship---a grim reminder that the scene ashore is not so idyllic!
