Hey Thom,

How have you been up there in the North West?

Eggs seems to sit pretty well for me most of the day,
and unlike high carb diets, I'm not hungry again at
noon. I'm going to have to experiment some more
with these in rough weather.

Doug,

My favorite Rough weather breakfast is the simple fried egg sandwich.
Really rough, "Sailors Eggs." Eggs fried in a piece of Bread with the
center removed, Fried over hard. And; as Scotty say, A good cup of
Instant Coffee!

Ole Thom

Bart,

I've found that an egg and bread work well for me in rough going. I'd
like to sit down to Biscuits and Gravy but if you can prepare Biscuits
and gravy and runny eggs it can't be to rough.

I've seen the time when I tried to fry an egg, for a sandwich and the
damn thing filled the whole frying pan from the motion in the galley.
That is when I started to cook them in the hole in the bread.

The instant coffee; When you are bouncing around on you ear, a
perculator is a dangerous weapon. Instant coffee and hot water from a
thermo bottle will make a 1/2 mug of coffee that can be handled and a
egg sandwich over hard can be jammed in the pocket of the foulies, if
need be.

As far a Rum (Booze), in rough weather any fool that tries to manage it
in a cup of coffee is out of their mind. If you need it pass the botle
around and drink it that way. Losing a 1/2 cup of coffee isn't to bad.
Losing it with a shot of booze is a waste

If you're eating eggs over easy and making "Lattas'" you're already at
the dock.

This comment haunted me so much I am finally forced to respond. The only value of a "peculator" is
to bash the head of anyone that serves you instant coffee.

Instead of having a Thermos of hot water, why not have a Thermos of properly brewed quality coffee?
One measure of truly great coffee is that it still tastes really good after 6 hours in a Thermos.
My preferred method is a manual drip into a Thermos, but I admit that might be hard in rough seas on
a monohull. However, you can even get a plastic or thermal French Press that would be less
dangerous than making instant.

I knew I recognized a gentleman of taste and distinction.
Melita makes a cone and thermal carafe combination which is just the
ticket. Nissan makes a cone that fits a particular sized Nissan
thermos. Both work great. For those with one hull, place the thermos
in the sink and wedge it in with whatever is handy. pour in the
boiling water only halfway up so as to lessen spillage. Great coffe,
no hassle.

I like your trick about putting a hole in the bread,
I'll tell all my friends about that one. A fine
contribution. 2 pts.

I took a few friends sailing in the Charles River once.
After sailing a while, we ran down the river to eat
lunch. I warned one fellow, an Air Force Lieutenant
named Tom, to finish his sandwich quick before we headed
upwind.

He didn't and finally I had to hardened up or hit the
bridge to leeward. I yelled to Tom to trim in the jib
and he put his beer bottle in the mouth, and used his
left hand to trim in the jib. At the same time he
hardened up on the sandwich in his right hand, as he
sheeted in, he squished the sandwich. It was a funny
sight to see his expression with that Heinenken hanging
from his mouth, and the ruined sandwich in his right hand.
