Men at sea indulge in pranks and humour, which Johansen shares with us: His role as "Neptune's daughter" in a ceremony to mark the crossing of the Equator; the toilet bowl incident; the mysterious disappearance of the third mate; and so on. There are many serious moments as well, as one might expect in the life of a Master Mariner who would carry the grave responsibility of a large oceangoing ship. This was a man who truly "followed his bliss."
