Voyage difficulties• The foods they ate on board-salted meat and fish, peas, beans, beer, and hard cheese-were not

very different from what the country folk in England ate in winter or early spring.

A day's activities might be as follows: * Wake up, put away the bedding * Prayers * Breakfast * In good weather, activities like reading, games, exercise on deck * Cooking by the women in good weather * Dinner (noon meal) * Activities similar to the morning * Supper • Prayers • Sleep
