He describes the crew and their camaraderie, as well as their collective excitement for the journey ahead. The narrative flows as he recounts their experiences at sea, with highlights including their passing under the cliffs of Capri and the majestic sight of Stromboli, while also addressing the challenges of sea sickness and interactions among the crew.
