Brooke's POV It's been almost a whole two weeks of this same day routine, and it's not too bad if I do have to be honest with myself. I have learned more than I ever expected to and it has been refreshing having the sea air in my lungs every single day and all day at that. It's exhausting, but it's not as bad as I would think it would be, you know, being out here with these men in this difficult situation. So maybe, since I can endure this and still stand tall, then maybe I really am meant to live out my life on the water.. like I had hoped.. But who knows when I can't truly enjoy the nautical life because of the men who refuse to like me and the Captain who claims me as his property. The crewmen still avoid me like the plague, but I have been getting to know them and their names to try
