Day 4 - Vegetable Alley

Every 3 or 4 hours we go through the routine of changing watches. This
means running the gauntlet from cockpit to ghetto (the name given to the
sail locker with our bunks). But enroute we have to pass through the main
cabin where the all the vegetables are slung from the roof in two
hamocks. The trick is to time it right in phase with the roll of the
boat. Time it wrong and first there's a right jab from cauliflower swiftly
followed by a full force of a left hook from the sack of potatoes.
Nothing like climbing into your bunk with cauliflower ears.
