Mercy and Comfort

Skippered by a UCSF grad, the USNS Mercy has left San Francisco. She has been anchored off of Hunters Point for the past few weeks, going through a refurbishment after helping out after the tsunami in SE Asia/Indonesia. (I pointed her out to the little boy as we drove by on Hwy 101 but he didn't understand why I was so excited.) Here she is sailing under the Bay Bridge on her way to help our countrymen in New Orleans. Her sister, the USNS Comfort has left Baltimore bound for the same destination. Godspeed our ships.
