In a jiffy I had slipped over the side, and curled up in the foresheets of the nearest boat, and almost at the same moment she shoved off. |
Finally with Mitchey for company I settled for the night between the fishbox and the first thwart in the foresheets. |
Their sails tense in the wind, foresheets and sternsheets straining. |
If personnel are already in the foresheets they should carry out this duty as No 1 oarsmen continue to function at oars. |
