This helicopter from the USNS Comfort is coming in to land on the grounds of the Amiral Killick Coast Guard Station. I sure would like to go for a ride in one of them!
Supplies are being delivered for the clinic.
The grounds were organized in different sections: registration, waiting areas, consultation, dental, eyecare, laboratory, pharmacy, xray
For security reasons the USNS Comfort did not dock close by. Maybe they didn't want any stowaways to climb aboard!
Smaller boats are used to transport personnel and patients back and forth from the hospital ship. Here people have arrived from the ship and are heading to the clinic site.
The USNS Comfort boat lanches would be using the harbor to ferry in workers to and from the hospital ship.
Near the Coast Guard Harbor is what we call the Haitin Harbor. Boats and shacks are around the shoreline.
The tires for a "tire dock"
We couldn't get a view of the hospital ship from our position near the Coast Guard station and we decided to go visit the "Tire dock". We paid the boat captain of this row boat to row us into the harbor so that I could get a view of the hospital ship. We were determined to get a nice photo of the ship.
We set out and made sure that everyone was balanced.
