Before we left，we were wanted to bring some warm clothes. These were necessary because the ship was going to spend the whole 16 days sailing in bad weather.

Then the day came and we sailed out of Dover, The boat had on board the film crew(工作人员)，the director, the actors and actresses including Brinksley Meers. who acted the leading role, and us---200 amateur(业余的)extras.

People came for different purposes. Some wanted to meet Brinksley Meers in person. Others were curious to see how a film was made. A housewife with her three children came for free holiday and a bit of adventure(冒险).

The next day often began at 6:30 in the morning，sometimes with breakfast being filmed.
