I finally got down the salt crusted gangway and we began unloading the pallets from the truck. I asked if this was it and he said no two more on the way. I began going through the pallets deciding what would go into the forward hold for longer storage and what went aft for the galley fridges and freezers. As I began to direct the Russian crew up on deck I began to notice I was running from stern to forward, back and forth as none of them spoke or understood any English and my dock side movements were a sort of choreography, a food stores dance.
