Engine problems on the CBM ~~~ Motorprobleme auf der CBM

Hi everybody
After DTS I had vacation in California, which was very good and relaxing. My best friend came over from Germany to visit me. We could spend 2 weeks together.
I meet the ship in Honduras, Puerto Cortez. We stayed there over Christmas and New Year. Then we sailed from Honduras to Cozumel. Below you can read what happened on our way to Cozumel.
Right now we are sailing to Mobile. I guess we arrive sometime today.
All what I can say about the time is, that God has His one Plans and Timing. Nothing is new for HIM. HE is in control. That was the 3 Evacuation in the last few months
　
Here some details from a friends diary an Engineer:
DATE: 5 January, 2005
TIME: 　14h00
The Caribbean Mercy was adrift due to engine problems, but is now under way at approximately 2 ½ knots, making way for Cozumel, Mexico. 　Her estimatedtime of arrival at the current rate of speed is approximately late evening tomorrow

DATE: Wednesday, January 6th. 　　
It is unknown at this time if a fouled propeller or else the engine’s turbo-charger is the cause of the engineproblems. 　The weather conditions at this time prohibit a diver from checking on the propeller. 　Current plans call for the Mercy Ship to continue underway at this reduced speed to Cozumel as long as she continuesto hold out but contingency plans are being made in the event she will need assistance. 　
Please keep this situation in your prayers and we will send out an update periodically as to the ongoing status.
Thank you.

DATE: 6 January, 2005
TIME: 09h00
After a successful sail through the night at about 2.9 knots, the CaribbeanMercy has almost reached the port of Cozumel, Mexico. 　
They are approximately 10 miles from port awaiting clearance from port authorities to enter the port. This involves space available due to three incoming cruise ships in the port area. Upon docking or anchorage, the Mercy Ship will be assessed and appropriaterepairs will begin.
Thanks for continuing to pray for the crew, particularly the engineering and deck crew who are doing a fantastic job of bringing the ship safely to port and have gotten little sleep the past couple of days.

Update on Caribbean Mercy, January 10, 2005
Currently, the Caribbean Mercy still is anchored at the port of Cozumel,Mexico. 　Some repairs have been completed but additional work is needed. Therefore, we are in the process of dispatching a tug to escort the ship from Mexico up to Mobile, Alabama. 　Currently, 50 crew are housed ashore at hotels. 　
To lessen the sailing crew, some of the families will fly to Mercy Ships IOC in Texas to be housed until the ship reaches Mobile. 　These families could be here on Wednesday, January 12. 　The ship could be underway Saturday morning with an estimated transit time to Mobile of four days. 　
Thank you for your prayers.
