This is your begning::-
It was a dark and stormy night, with frequent irregular lightning flashes in the sky indicating a fierce storm.

The sea rumbled and the waves rose with such intensity that they echoed the storm raging in the sky. In the distance, the solitary beam of a lighthouse pierced the darkness, a lonely sentinel offering a ray of hope and guidance to those lost in the chaos.

The crew members braced themselves for the potential impact, hoping that the light from the lighthouse would lead them to safety. With a final wave of determination, they headed toward the light, praying they would reach shore before the full relentless fury of the storm hit.

AND NOW MY STORY:-

The medium-capacity cargo ship had set out two days earlier for about 640-nautical mile journey from Puerto Valparaiso to Puerto Montt, Chile, and so far the journey had gone smoothly. The ship was carrying more containers than it could handle.

The captain and crew were highly trained and experienced. Apart from a couple of new crew members, the crew of about 18 people was on board. All of them had faced such difficult situations before, so there was no fear on anyone's faces except the new crew members.

Their journey was expected to take 2 days and 16 hours as they were not able to move more than 10 nautical miles per hour due to the heavy load.

Puerto Montt, also called in Mapuche Meli Puli, is a port city in southern Chile, located at the northern end of the Llanquihue Province in the Los Lagos Region. [This information is taken from Google]

Before the storm, the crew was eager to reach their destination as soon as possible, but this disruption brought disappointment on their faces.

Captain Martin was a middle aged and experienced captain. He gave necessary instructions to all his crew to deal with the current situation, and he himself started taking appropriate steps to deal with the circumstances.

In the crew, the captain or master handles the deck department, Matias handles the engine department, Joaquin handles the steward department and Emiliano handles the steward department, but in such adverse conditions, everyone took charge of the front as per the orders of Captain Martin.

In normal conditions, the crew of this ship used to call him a grumpy captain behind his back due to his strict behavior, but while facing today's dangerous situation, all the members considered Captain Martin's orders as the orders of a father and got together.

Just then Liam, posted on the binoculars, shouted loudly, Captain, perhaps the direction of the ship is not right, a rock is visible ahead.

Martin's forehead was filled with worry and he immediately instructed that the ship would have to be stopped there until the storm calmed down. This storm would not bring much peace to a stopped ship.

The loud roar of the clouds, the strong winds of the storm, the lightning flashing repeatedly from the sky, and the ship swaying like a child's boat were creating a strange fear in everyone's hearts. They felt as if this was their last journey.

And then the ship stood there for 3 hours, rocking and facing the high waves, and when the speed of the storm subsided, it again headed towards its destination. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Another page of experience was added to the lives of all the members, and after that incident their respect for their captain increased even more in their hearts, who had displayed his patience, intelligence and prudence even in such adverse circumstances.
