This is a cruising boat, but there seems no 10,000+ mile male or female crew members can resist doing anything else other than buying the brightest and prettiest laid out red tomatoes and the brightest yellow bananas in well-supplied shops and markets. These items are called perishables, and they are, fast; and they are legends in the distribution business. If they are a perfect red or yellow, they have no more than half a day before they are too ripe. Tomatoes are soft and bananas get black speckles on the outside and are going brown on the inside. Then I find them wasting space in the rare and expensive atmosphere of a chiller or fridge. Both should be bought green, and not kept in a fridge.
BTW, the other common wasting fruit are the avocado and papaya (pawpaw) both ripe today and dead tomorrow; and don't ever buy mangoes that are soft to the touch, they have already passed on.
