This week, I was in Japan to install a new piece of equipment on a ship. I only had two days to do it and a lot of communication problems. Day one, the ship and parts warehouse were closed. Day two, we could not find our parts shipment in the warehouse. One part was a mounting plate and the other was the equipment. I could not find a mounting plate, but I found a 'random' shipment of the piece of equipment I needed in the warehouse. I found that it was inappropriately shipped 5 months ago for a ship that didn't needed it. However, I still didn't have the mounting plate I need. When I went onto the ship to survey the mounting location, I found that I could not install the equipment horizontally with the mounting plate like normal, because of other things installed in the way. The only possible way to mount the equipment was vertically, which did not require the mounting plate. So, I was able to complete the install with a piece of equipment that was not designated for this ship, but "just so happened to be there". God provided exactly what I needed and worked around the craziness of not having access to the correct shipment of parts that were supposed to be there.
