Part 7
It was finally time to dock the Northwestern into Puget Sound, and I was invited to help with the boat. I jumped at the chance immediately; I would just take a flight back to Anchorage. I had told Josh that I was leaving to go back hours ago. I could hear Sig and Matt laughing and that pulled me back to reality. "Six months at sea, I wonder if I am capable of having a normal sleeping and eating pattern", I thought quickly have I felt a pair of keys being pushed into my palm. The keys belonged to Jake, he looked up at me and said, and "Final dinner at sea, here's a recipe Sig always requests". I smiled at my friends' thoughtfulness. I went towards the parking lot of the port and before I got into Jake's car, I made sure that I had my mace on hand just in case. A while later, I arrived at the supermarket and my Droid was signaling a new message; I had almost gotten everything ready for the Salted Cod recipe, but I was very unsure if I was going to eat it. "When in Rome, Do as the Romans do, I thought as I approached the cashier and paid for the Cod and other things needed per the recipe. I hoped that my first time cooking this dish wouldn't be a failure, due to the fact that I might get ribbed for it later.
I arrived back at port, when I noticed the wives\girlfriends of the crew, Mallory came and offered to help, which I gladly accepted. Out of all my social circle, my friend Mallory Rachael knows the most about Norwegian culture due to the fact that she studied it in college, and is engaged to Edgar. Much to my dismay, the only person who really offered to help was Mallory. I hoped that the rest of the crew's significant others would want to meet me and not just take me for granted.
