Book excerpt: Crew men going mad, near collisions, pirates and meeting unusual characters were just a few things that happened to the author as she worked and lived on the container ship 'MV Serenity River', while it travelled around the world. Written as an entertaining narrative travelogue, Time Zones, Containers and Three Square Meals a Day is the account of an unusual trip in a world that is usually hidden from view. It gives interesting insights into what life is like onboard a large container ship, with the friendships among the crew, the joy of spotting a pod of dolphins, the physical difficulties that arise out of the constant changing of the clocks and the boredom of being at sea for long periods at the time. Time Zones, Containers and Three Square Meals a Day is a must read for anyone who, walking along the beach, has wondered what is it like to live, work and travel on one of those gigantic container ships that silently cruise past our shores.
