I miss those days sometimes. Then I remember the low pay, the sea-sickness,
the near-death situations, the abuse, the crushing responsibility and the
nightmares.

shipped out of Rio De Janeiro on Friday 13th a long long time ago.
First, one of the tugs broke down and we had to wait for another one
then that one snapped a line trying to haul us against the current.
Then the ships rudder-control mechanism broke. Spare parts had to be
flown in to fix it.
I'll leave the story about crossing the Bermuda triangle for another day.
