Twenty-four sailors from every walk of life, of every age and temperament, living literally cheek-by-jowl for week after week, away from family and friends sometimes for months at a time. All crammed in an elderly 40 metre metal hulled boat - in seas of all conditions with temperatures often in the 30's. 　　译文(2): 二十四名来自各行各业，不同年龄，不同性格的水手，一周又一周，紧挨着一起生活，有时几个月都远离家人和朋友。所有人都挤在一艘40米长的金属船壳的老船里——在各种条件下，海水温度通常在30华氏度左右。
