Homeward Round the Horn

I accepted the challenge, because I knew a bit about sailing, because of my father. He had always been very interested sailing, but he didn’t have the money to buy a boat. I was thinking of buying a little sailing boat myself. I always have been a bit of an adventurer, and I looked forward to the tremendous journey, that I was about to go on.

I went down to the ship. I was well welcomed by the captain and his crew. The captain showed me to my room. It was a small room with four beds. I was going to live with two other men. I helped the others setting up the sails and we were good to go. The first day I didn’t really do anything. The captain asked me to relax and enjoy the ride. But starting the morning I was woken up by one of the sailors. He told me to cook breakfast for everybody. I was surprised by this. When I accepted the challenge I didn’t expect being a cook. But I agreed thinking, that this was just temporary. But it wasn’t. Every morning and evening I was forced to cook. In the afternoons I had to clean the boat. It went on for a week, and then I had the courage to confront the captain with it. I told him what I had to do all day. But the captain just told me, that it wasn’t his problem. I had heard in the news, that the company had economical troubles, and I had for a second thought about why they took a passenger on a travel for free. I had figured it out now. What I had to do would normally have been done by at least two persons. This way the company only needed one, and it was free work. After I figured this out, I was counting the days until we were in Lisbon. But it showed out to take longer than expected.
When we stopped at what I thought was Montevideo as planed, but instead we ended in Mexico. I snug around by the captain. I saw him talking to some men in the town. He handed a lot of money to the Mexican. Then the men gave the captain some boxes. I couldn’t see what was in them, but I saw how much money the captain gave them. It definitely was expensive stuff. I didn’t speak to the captain about this episode. I didn’t even confront him with the disturbing trip to Mexico. I just hoped, that we were going to take fastest way to Lisbon from here. In the night, when most of the crew slept. I went down to the cargo. I opened the box I saw the captain receive earlier. In the box I saw lots of bags with white powder. I decided to run away from that room, and tell the police about it once we were in Lisbon.
Soon came the area I had feared the most, Cape Horn. I was sad, that we had to spend Christmas here. I expected us to celebrate the holiday on land. On the water it was just as stormy and terrible as expected. I was in my room with the others most of the time. I was more sick than ever before, but after what I felt as a very long time, the weather began to calm down. It definitely was the worst Christmas ever.

Finally we were in Lisbon. The captain apologized for what I had to do on the boat. But both I and himself knew that nothing would happen. The captain had all of his crew on his side. I hurried away from the boat and up to the police. I had to hurry before they transported the cocaine to another place. I told the police about the drugs, and a couple of policemen ran with me to the boat. They found the drugs and arrested the captain and all of his crew. I was now on national television in Portugal. I had caught a drug mafia. I found out, that he had tricked people the same way he tricked me. Some of them even knew about the drugs, but didn’t dare standing up to him. By the way they didn’t have any proof, the captain always got rid of it, before they could turn him in. After I had been on tons of shows about the mafia, I was ready to go back to Australia. But this time I am going to take the plane.

Jo jeg vil godt, men ´minekompetencer er muligvis ikke tilstrækkelige, men jeg gør lige et forsøg.

Jeg retter i den her, så må du selv lige kopiere det derefter.
