Heralded but unknown, expected yet taken by surprise, prepared but not ready. What a remarkable situation, yet so remarkably befitting of a truly remarkable ship.

A rebirth, a new name, a new mission, new stewards.... At the time of writing, there is clarity only of vision and mission. Almost all else remains a walk of faith.

Today, with a new name Doulos Phos ( meaning Servant Light in Greek ), she sits majestically on her very own private isle in Bintan, Indonesia.

This book, at times poignantly, at others humourously, brings the reader on the journey that Eric and his family undertook to bring the calling to fruition.

Well worth a read, and definitely well worth a visit to the Grand Old Lady.
