Washing is always a problem, and with the boat close hauled, it has been difficult to walk around down below, let alone have a shower. So it has been at best a flannel wash in the sink i have been using wet wipes, which are excellent in these times, however the ones that were brought for me smell of cucumber, so every time i have a wash i come out smelling like a cucumber.

Is this some subtle ploy to get me to eat vegetables, get me to smell like one, so that i will not shy away from them when they are put on my plate.
