HOW DOES GODSPEED BEHAVE AT SEA?
She and her kind, were the original rock and rollers. With the wind on the beam, she would really move. If there was any type of sea, she would rise up and over the swells. This could be a bit wet. Also heeled over in a steady breeze everything on board was at an angle. If it wasn’t lashed down, it moved. When you slept, depending on which side you had the wind, you either slept pressed up against the side of the ship or if the wind was on the other side, you rolled out. We had a rectangular piece of canvas called a lee cloth that was held up with rope to the overhead. This kept you in your bunk.
