[Public-List] That Space Abaft the Galley

[Gordon Laco via Public-List]

We call that space the ‘hell hole’ because things fall into it that aren’t easily found again, unless one remembers to look there.

Yes, Mike’s correct, that space was supposed to be for wet foul weather gear but I cannot imagine using it for that purpose.  Aboard Surprise, as Mike does, we keep a garbage bag hanging there.

    We use ours for a trash can. Can't imagine using it as a wet locker. We
    store extra can goods under the floor. We also use a Lucite can storage
    rack in the overhead bins which helps to maximze the space and keep it
    organized.
