Chương 129: Overboard

Life on the sea didn't get any easier. If anything it got rougher. Sleeping at night was difficult because of the rocking of the boat and the fact that Abby was sharing a tiny room with four other women and children.

They didn't even have proper beds. All of them slept either on the floor on a primitive futon or in hammocks hanging from the ceiling.

They maximized on space that way but it made getting out of bed in the morning very difficult. Usually you managed to bump multiple people in the process. There wasn't really any room for luggage either. That was stored elsewhere on the ship and could only be accessed at certain times of day.

When it got particularly stormy and the boat was tossed to and fro Abby felt a bit seasick too. It was even more difficult to sleep on those nights because she was in a hammock and the stupid thing would swing back and forth like a pendulum due to the force of the waves.
