Do you routinely lock your dinghy and outboard when leaving it at a dinghy dock?
Thanks to everyone who took the time to fill out last week’s survey on meal preparation before a passage. Of those who replied, 79% do prepapres dinners before heading to sea. The average number of prepared meals is four, with most saying they prepare two meals that can be used twice each. The most popular recipes are: lasagna, chicken casserole, beef chili, chicken curry, shepherd’s pie, mac and cheese, taco fillings and hearty stew. Several readers noted that food on the first three days should be bland and easy to digest.
