Baptism of Fire
It cost more money, and took longer to complete, than I could have ever imagined. That’s a story as old as Job. At times, I wondered if I would ever escape back to sea. From Monday to Friday, I’d get up at 5.30 am, row my dory across the river from Dangar Island to Brooklyn, after a quick breakfast, catch the 6.35 am train to work, and get back to my boatshed at 7 pm. Then I’d have to get up early every Saturday and Sunday, row across the river again, and go to work on Mudshark.
