As I passed by the shipyard, sailors loaded cargo onto boats bound for Iran. I was mesmerized by the hub of activity and the design of the boats themselves. They looked like a bohemian paradise, with rickety planks and bits of wood painted green, blue and red. I wondered what it would be like to be a sailor and how they felt about life at sea. It can't be easy or comfortable, but I'm sure it's never dull.
