Mik Jones faces numerous challenges unrelated to medicine.”I have a lot of inventiveness to invent all kinds of scenes,” she added.
For research on navigation and cargo ships,Douville consulted retired commander Jean Proteau. “He was extraordinarily patient with me,” Douville said. “He answered all my questions and offered suggestions. He’s such an vital resource! He gave me credibility: he reread the terms I used.without him,I wouldn’t have had this authenticity.”
Douville added, “I gave him challenges.For exmaple, I needed a good hiding place on the boat. He’s the one who found it for me!” He described the engine room’s soundscape, ”He told me about the whistling and rumbling.” He even gave her a tour of a cargo ship docked in montreal in March 2020,just before the COVID-19 pandemic began.
“Born in Cacouna,quebec,in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region,to a Malecite mother and a New Zealander father he had never known,Mikkuan jones Manicouche had studied medicine in the Canadian Armed Forces,not having the money to pay for university otherwise.
