Steve Thorpe – Compact sleeping

The first bed I had onboard a diesel boat, I had a choice to sleep on my front or my back. You couldn’t sleep on your side. You actually had to get out …

Simon: Because of the roof height? So, you had to get out to turn over?

Yeah, literally. You couldn’t sleep on your side ‘cos the bunk wasn’t physically big enough, so you sleep on your back or your front and climb out if you want to turn over.
