Sailor’s toes

[To Scorpiosail Home Page]

This disgusting image indicates that space aboard a yacht is limited. Toes numbers 2, 9 and 10 have behaved particularly badly and are now completely deformed; the distal phalanxes (the bones at the tips of the toes) have been fractured and the joints damaged too often. The lower tendons of number 4 have been severed. Some fresh bruises can be seen at numbers 3 and 9. Every time a toe takes a new hit it hurts more than the last time!

In the unlikely event that you would like to see a larger photo, please click on it. How about toe-prints instead of finger-prints for identification?
