An Easter Weekend Sail

We just got back from a fun few days of sailing. We didn't make it out of the Solent, but we had a nice few evenings on the hook outside of the Newtown River.

Here's some photos:

My skills with the toaster are radically improving, according to the crew. The bagels were a crispy light brown, and received high marks with the eggs.



(Last time, things were a bit dark, but I finally relized that removing the pot holders on the stove was easy and made it much easier to use both burners in a calm anchorage.)

One thing we miss-- a friend in Portland, Oregon would surprise us in the morning with fresh cinamon rolls from his stove on his 30 footer. They were just the "pop-n-fresh" type, but they were fun to have with coffee when at anchor in a pretty spot on the Columbia River.

No luck finding them here yet, but we keep coming across Fray Bentos:



(Source: These store-cupboard steak or chicken delights are still worth £20m annually ...)

In theory, Fray Bentos have a shelf life of two world wars, so it's not uncommon to supplement the ballast with these in the UK.

Does it taste better than it looks?

I think it depends on the situation. I've never had the guts to eat one, and those who "swear by them" are usually "hard men of the sea" types. Maybe the taste is improved by recently surviving a F10 in the North Sea... In normal conditions, they are probably awful.

"Bully Beef" is a similar example. If it was good enough for Robin Knox-Johnson for nearly a year on Suhaili, why wouldn't it be good enough for you?
