Girl your writing is truly amazing. It sucks you in to where you don't want to put it down or for the story to end. You write with such description it makes us feel everything you are feeling. It made me feel the waves, it made me feel the danger, it made me feel the relief, it made me feel the salt water on your faces, it made me feel Tom's personality, it made me feel the love and so much more. This is such a beautiful and great story of some of your first days as a first mate. So beautifully written. ❤️
