\"Abismo_by_ELENADUDINA\"<\/a>The first week home always feels strange. For one thing it\u2019s nearly silent. After five months ship-side you become used to the constant whirring of background noise: the vibration of the engines, the rattle of wheels on corrugated metal down the I-95 crew corridor, all the little sounds that are so much a part of your ever day life on board that you no longer even hear them.<\/p>\n

Home, on the other hand, is blissfully \u2013 almost frighteningly, silent. It always takes me some time to get used to it.<\/p>\n

That could easily be because the contract was so difficult. Even Amras says I sound better now than I did when I called from the ship a while ago..<\/p>\n
