You have a stern rail? Don't even hesitate.

Me: I took out the stove cuz I think stoves aboard small sailboats
are dangerous, so we run out, then I have coffee beans.
Daughter: What? You crush them to make cold coffee?

My point? Are you really going to put off sailing because you cannot
get a hot meal every time you want it? Are you really going to put it
off because you might be a bit cold and you have to wear a parka?
I think sailing food consists of Pop Tarts for breakfast because you
can hold one while steering.
Lunch should be bread with peanut butter
Dinner, more bread and peanut butter.
Gatoraide
Coffee beans.
apples
What else do you need? No complications with an icebox, no need for a
stove, very simple.

There's really no excuse for not having decent chow on board. I
always used to pride myself on how well the racing crew got fed using
just a one burner SeaSwing propane stove. The secret is to make it
all up in advance and freeze it into plastic bags holding one meal
each. Throw the frozen bags into the cooler and that helps to keep
the soda cold as well.

Yup, that's the way to do it. We are very careful during the race
weekends to hydrate and eat properly. Not to mention we "eat up" to the
weekend during the week to prepare too. Now I doubt that Froggie is
going to compete at the level we do on the track, but if the **** hits
the fan on the water, you want it all there with you. On the track we
could just pull over;)

Rowdy Mouse Racing, I am a chunky little mouse;)

Last time I bought a race track greaseburger, the Pepsi was 8 bucks a
gallon, fifty feet away, the methanol was $1.80 a gallon.

There is a grocery story chain in Des Moines that has dry ice pellets
for two bucks a pound. There is a vending machine. Ice cream for the
first couple of days. I wouldn't think the stuff is very hard to find.

Casady

Around here we can only buy dry ice in chunks of 25 pounds or bigger...
I wish we had vending machines like yours, wet ice is a mess on a race
weekend. I usually go through 6-10 bags on a typical weekend, two days
out in a campground and travel time on each end of the trip.

They now make a cooler with wheels and a handle that extends. They
make vacuum bottles that will provide coffee that is too hot to drink
after 24 hours. No need to suffer, even in the smallest boat.

Casady

Ahh, but *that* would require Froggy to spend a few dollars.

Do you happen to have a brand name or URL on those "keep it hot for 24
hours" vacuum bottles?- Hide quoted text -

Does your lawyer know that almost every time you post here, you toss out
personal insults and sometimes direct or implied threats?

I have a Thermos "work series" vacuum bottle. It's ok, but certainly not
a 24-hour keep it hot device.

Oh...why are you ignoring your lawyer's advice to not post here?

Oh...might I assume your lawyer told you it would not be a good idea to
come up here to assault me, and that it is also not a good idea for you
to tell your buddy who lives up here to stalk me? :)

If we knew who his lawyer is, we could invite him/her to hang out in here
for a bit.
I imagine they would kick Looneys' ass to the curb in a New York minute.

Yeah, which one keep coffee "too hot to drink" after 24 hours? Our
"Thermos" brand only keeps it that hot for 3-5 or so if we are lucky..
