Unless you're on a powerboat, with essentially unlimited power, or only go out for very short weekend cruises, you'll want to stick with diesel or propane powered stoves/ovens, etc.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
