Day 3 (probably 4)

As soon as the Mercy arrived the port became a flury of activity. The ship anchored a mile off shore and helicopters began non-stop flights from ship to dock with humanitarian aid and supplies to set up clinics inland. We were finally taken to the port where we took the "band aid" boat to the ship. It was my first time living on a Navy ship. It was well protected by the Marines and the Cambodian Navy. I spent the next day getting used to ship life and on Monday started clinic at a rural school.
