Your story touched on one of my favorite memories. I was a deck ape on a destroyer and got to through the Panama Canal
the same way, albeit twenty-five years later than the story was set. Excellent rendering of what it was like to
first sign on and hit the first foreign beach. Splendid work! Keep it up!
i sailed as a boy of 17 from uk to central america as an officer cadet , this could have been my story in vera cruz all them years ago , she was beatrice not francesca but there the difference end. thankyou
