⚓ Yacht Cooking Tips

  1. Freshness Order: Use mushrooms, spinach, and soft tomatoes first. Cabbage, carrots, and potatoes can wait until the end of the week.
  2. Bread Management: Start with fresh bakery bread. Switch to vacuum-packed “bake-off” bread that you can toast in the oven from Day 4 onwards.
  3. Storage: Heavy items (water, cans, potatoes) should be stored low in the boat (the bilge) to keep the boat stable.
  4. Cleaning: Save fresh water by rinsing dishes in seawater first, then doing a final quick rinse with fresh water.
