Dear Janet,
Hey, how's it going?
I guess half a year or so will have passed by the time you get this letter. Life is so boring here. Day after day, just the same old sea.
Although there is one thing that's different. This time we have some passengers sailing with us, which hardly ever happens.
It's a couple with a little girl. I think they're distant relatives of the captain. Imagine, traveling on a tanker instead of a passenger ship. They must be hard up!
I tried talking to the little girl earlier and her dad shot me this nasty look. What's he so worried about?
Now that I think of it, the captian said he didn't even have any relatives...
Maybe I'm overthinking this.
I miss you.
Love,
Jim
