The Drift (A Hans Larsson Novel Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
Floating flush with the sea’s surface, it was every sailor’s worst nightmare, one resulting in many a crew evacuating to a life raft. A lengthy hearing exonerated the captain of the Tokyo Pride on charges of sailing with improperly secured cargo. In truth, many large vessels put to sea with serious safety issues. To penalize every company would effectively render global trade untenable, so chalking up such incidents to within a generous margin of error had become the norm. Besides, how often did a force ten gale whip up the North Atlantic in April? The majority of the trip went without a hitch, the container ship docking in Singapore and Yemen before negotiating the Suez Canal to stop again in Gibraltar. A few of the mostly Filipino crew took advantage of the docking to have their photographs taken with the Rock’s infamous apes and buy cheap liquor and cigarettes, but the majority crashed in their bunks, catching up on sleep and saving their hard-earned cash to send home to loved ones.
