You have the right stuff on this subject, IMHO. How did you keep VC cold?

old school baby...cubes and lots of them! the only other things taking up
space in the icebox were smoked salmon, caviar, capers and a big red onion.

Being a 6th gen N. FL native, I figure even ice is a luxury and I
rarely bother with it. If we got too hot, we'd flood the cockpit
about 1/4 way and soak our feet. I'd drink hot coffee (from a
thermos) in the summer figuring that when I cooled off from drinking
it that even if it was 99 degrees out I'd feel cool. When underway, I
dont eat much and subsist on Pop Tarts, apples and peanut butter
sandwiches. Cooking on a sailboat, what a weird idea. I'll wait till
safely anchored to cook. We cook on sterno cans shoved down into the
burner wells of the old alcohol stove. Still, it is luxury compared
to real camping.
