| Summary |

He reflects on his experiences as he navigates the complexities of urban life while preparing for his certification exams, revealing a contrasting world between his past nautical adventures and current aspirations. At the start of the novel, the protagonist arrives in London, burdened with nostalgia for the ocean and the life he left behind. The narrative unfolds with vivid descriptions of his modest living situation and the vibrant yet isolating atmosphere of the city. As he interacts with various characters, including his landlords and fellow students, he expresses a deep yearning for the freedom and authenticity of sea life. His observations blend humor and introspection, setting a reflective tone as he prepares to share his journey and experiences back at sea. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
