Below deck, in the cabin, is the sanctuary. The “galley,” “head,” and “berths” are not just pretentious names for a kitchen, toilet, and bed; they are a deliberate attempt to bring the comforts of home into a world of motion. The gentle creak of the fiberglass, the soft gurgle of water against the hull just inches from your ear—it’s a lullaby that reminds you that you are not on land, but suspended over the abyss.
