How dry was the V-berth?

The V-berth was completely dry, but it was *noisy*.

One time in the sunny afternoon, a smaller cross wave broke right near
the stem, and the crest reached out like a fist to punch the windward
side of the bow. It sounded like a cannon ball and shook the whole boat.

The off watch rushed up on deck, wide-eyed, sure that we'd hit something.
