Dear Sir, Mission 27 was very successful with 1.571 patients. Patients average patients per Mission day = 74 patients. This morning, Swimming Doctor leave for Mission 28. Before departure the captain and I did an inside hull inspection. We can expect once again some significant hull maintenance next month. On top we will have to redo as every 6 month the hull careenage and antifouling. On the engine side we will have to do the 6 month maintenance and the transmissions alignment. The gear box last repair seems to resist. It will be checked too. If you plan to come back before the end of the 1st semester to bring back us some money, the one that we have in hand will be enough to face SD renovation and operational expenses. If not could you bring on your next trip 20.000 Euros. The fact that you announce on the boat, during your last visit on board, that soon will be launched a Swimming Doctor 2, makes that everybody on board, crew and medical team, dreams to be on that more modern boat. U Ni our second captain just passed with success his exams to be 1st captain. He has now in his hand his full captain license and of course dreams to be The captain of Swimming Doctors 2. Please if it is just a hope when you will pass on board next month let them know that for the time being it is a wish that you are trying to make real by raising the necessary funds to make it exist, but it can take time. Phyo and I are looking forward with joy to meet you and your family soon. Warms regards, Francois Kenedi
