Sofia Stevi
My father was born a seaman, he sailed the seven seas for more than forty years. When I was little he used to take me with him on his big ship. A long trip on the sea transforms you. Exiting the clear Mediterranean waters from the busy Strait of Gibraltar, entering the deep Atlantic Ocean and traveling north towards the Arctic encountering whales and glistening icebergs and filling a child’s mind with images of nature at its wildest. A winter’s night on a merchant navy ship in the middle of the ocean is made of the darkest-dark velvet, covering everything in deep silence.
