Looks like they have a line strung across all the hammocks - wonder if the line is so that they can get up, just grab the line and haul, or if the line is there to hang stuff on.

LOL. Could be anything. On one of the ancient ships I had the pleasure of serving aboard, I lived on the top bunk of a three-high (triple bunk). I had to wedge myself under a 12-inch STEAM PIPE. It was insulated, but I had only about 8 inches clearance over my head when I was in the rack. It was always rather unnerving. And forget about side-sleeping.

My Hyperlite feels like the Hilton by comparison...and I go about 6'3' or so.
