Default Easy meals on a delivery crise

My kids like cruising - one of the ways they describe it is sailing
restaurant to restaurant (club to club). Then the cooler only needs to
keep lunch type food and snacks.
The economics of this plan has enabled us to resist upsizing the boat

Some of the places we like to stay have a good bbq.
About half of the places we go have a good grocery / shopping area in easy
walking distance from the harbour, so we can provision on daily basis.
Utensils and such - we have a picnic set - they can be Wal-Mart basic or
scaled up to what ever turns your fancy. Paper plates and plastic utensils
are another option.

Snack food while at sea - chips, dip, cheese, crackers, sliced meats, rolls
.... pretty much what you would eat at home, but keep in mind that on a boat
stuff seems to have a tendency to spill more frequently, so deep dish
serving plates with non skid place mats are a good idea.

Is this a 'just get it done' trip, or a full blown celebration voyage ?
Just a few guys moving a boat or a wife and family or a 'babe' cruise ?
The culinary choices could be significantly different.

Subs (aka heros) are always good - cold or hot. We've heated them in the
oven (propane).

It is a composite of your palet, desire and ability to tidy up, and and
aversion to food accidents.

The total distance, and leg lengths, and area of your delivery cuise, are
not mentioned, so there are some unknowns here. Also, if you are asking
these types of questions, I suspect your 'sea legs stomach' are not fully
develped or experienced yet, so depending on the weather, the ride of the
boat among other things, sea sickness cannot be excluded. We always pack
plenty of Gravol - and have gone some years with out using any - but not
every year.

Hope this has helped, best wishes on your initial voyage.

Anyone have any good ideas for easy meals on a delivery cruise?
The boat is brand new which means no utensils. However, it is
a really nice boat with refrigeration, stove and microwave.
I was thinking TV dinners. What are your favorites?
What are good snacks for at sea?
