Try this:
Lines <- " protokollid date start end
4 2/23/2009 8:50:10 15:17:30
4 2/24/2009 9:47:00 13:52:25
5 3/22/2009 8:51:25 12:00:05"
library(chron)
skiers <- read.table(textConnection(Lines), header = TRUE, as.is = TRUE)
skiers <- transform(skiers, date = dates(date),
start = times(start), end = times(end))
bp <- boxplot(as.numeric(skiers$start), yaxt = "n")
axis(2, bp$stats, times(bp$stats), las = 2, cex.axis = 0.5)
