To fulfill my desire to advance in my chosen profession, I had to serve at sea for four years, and 20 months of that time had to be on sailing ships.
Lai piepildītu savu sapni un kaut ko sasniegtu izraudzītajā profesijā, man četri gadi bija jānokalpo uz jūras, turklāt 20 mēneši no šī laika bija jāpavada uz buriniekiem.
