Salamander - Workout Deck

Salamander is a ketch rigged boat about 58 feet in length. The main cockpit is in the centre of the boat giving good all round visibility. This leaves a large flat area on the stern which is perfect for doing our daily workouts.

I say flat, this is purely figurative. Maybe when we are berthed in a cosy Marina it might be flat but that's not the case in the open waters of the Atlantic.

Ralph started us off with his very impressive routine, showing off his rugby physique and goading us all into action.

My (Tim) routine is much more meditative and involves more stretching than strength work. I'm getting quite a good workout on the helm when the wind is up not to worry too much about upper body.

Each of us has our own exercises and requirements and the aft deck gives us the space to be free spirited.

Perhaps Mary the flag lady can be our cheerleader when we reach St. Lucia, urging us to push for that extra repetition?
