Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Laughter on the Hill There was a pounding on the door of my cabin, and I heard the excited voice of the Norwegian second mate. "Vake op! Vake op! Ve are coming soon through the Golden Gate!" I woke up and tore into my clothes as fast as I could. After twenty-five days on a freighter city clothes felt awkward, and in my rush to get out on deck I buttoned my dress all wrong from the hem up and had to start over again. We were already passing under the Golden Gate Bridge when I finally emerged on deck, into the blackness just before dawn. On deck the men stood calmly, drinking black coffee from thick white mugs or preparing the lines which would soon tie us to our dock. It was an ordinary trip for them - a few days in a port they all liked, or a day or so in their home town before going on to Portland. They sat on the hatch covers, talking quietly, not even glancing at the black cliffs passing by us so swiftly, or up at the amber lights of the world´s longest single span. They had sailed into San Francisco Bay hundreds of times before this, and would do so hundreds of times again. For me it was different - it was the beginning of a new life. I climbed up to the ship´s bridge and, bracing myself in the icy wind, looked at the city where I was going to live.
