boats. :-D ]

You shouldn't anyway, just out of principle....Either be a sailor or an
ornament, but don't stoop to galley wenchdom.

You are absolutely correct on this point Kitty! The galley is a Man's
domain... where fillets are surgically removed from the freshest of daily
catches.... where steaks are seasoned to perfection prior to the grill!
Where potatoes are shown the respect they deserve and cooked with their
skins on! Where the onion slices are cut thick, mushrooms are sliced in half
and vegetables are a considered a garnish! Gleaming stainless counters and
dangerous stoves go hand in hand with razor sharp knives and a rocking
platform! A theater that would comfort a bomb squad is no place for the
frailty of a female best suited to adorning the deck or warming the bunk of
a true sailor!
