Sonja is Drafted

On the road with the navy (1x2)

:

In beautiful and warm Portimao on the Portuguese Algarve, Sonja Zietlow boards the Gorch Fock. The traditional sail training ship of the German Navy is enthroned majestically on the harbour pier. Sonja Zietlow sleeps in a narrow two-man bunk together with the ship's doctor. There is a communal shower and toilets. And there is no chance of a good night's sleep. At six o'clock in the morning, the shrill whistle of the watch commander wakes the crew. In heavy seas, they have to climb 25 metres up the mast and set sail - without securing! But there are other jobs on the Gorch Fock: Chef Lasse has invited Sonja Zietlow to join him in the galley. Today, soldier Zietlow is cooking chilli con carne for 200 men and women. Night watch at the big steering wheel is also the order of the day. While the officer supervises the navigation, he gives instructions as to which way helmsman Zietlow should turn the huge wheel.
