1. Al mediodía las olas eran como montañas. Nuestro barco subía y bajaba, subía y bajaba. Agua se estrellaba sobre la cubierta. Una vez, dos veces, pensamos que nuestra ancla se había soltado. El capitán ordenó que tiraran otra ancla. Ahora teníamos dos anclas sosteniéndonos.
At noon
the waves
were
like
mountains.
Our ship
went up
and
down,
up
and
down.
Water
crashed
onto
the deck.
Once,
twice,
we thought
that
our anchor
had come loose.
The captain
ordered
them to
throw
another anchor.
Now
we had
two anchors
holding us.
