Rum - it's a much more concentrated form of alcohol than beer. Where will you be cruising to? If part of your trip involves Canada, you need to make sure that what you plan to bring can be taken across the border. Many meats and fresh foods cannot be taken in. Ditto on the way back.

And while we are on the subject of rum lets get a few things straight. Bacardi is rum. Dark Bacardi is even better rum, and thats it. Captain cat piss is not rum. My dog can lift his leg too but I dont let him choose what we are drinking either. Wink

Tom, I like your thinking! Meyers Rum is even a further step down the road of true "rumdom"!

Harvey, sorry for my additional hijack, this is a really good and useful thread! On second thought, rum is a most important part of any true ships stores!

If you enjoy a can of soda occasionally or regularly, the little 7.5oz mini cans are easier to pack and would fit better in some of the bilge areas to keep them cool for drinking. I ration myself one mini Dr. pepper or Mt. Dew for each day on longer kayaking trips and to me it is a treat I look forward to. On the boat, we also use them for the space savings and added bonus of a smaller portion size.

We don't do that with beer, in fact we like to bring the huge 24oz cans of Dos Equis lager just to cut down on the garbage. We just split each one into cups we reuse. I wish more decent beer came that way but the big bottles are also manageable.

I do soda, although I didn't take any with me last summer. I took V-8 instead. Don't do alcohol, closest I get there is the beer battered fish and chips, Cool

I'm sure enjoying the comments here. Thanks, and no problem with the hijack.

I've started a list at home, and it's probably different for a CD 16, where space is really at a premium and an icebox would take up about half of the cockpit. I really would like to avoid refrigeration of any kind. I can drink beer at whatever the water temperature is below my boat. 20 minutes at 20 feet, that's my definition of cold beer.

I find that eating out of a can, ala Dinty Moore, is the most tiring part of a long trip. I need real food, so I'm looking for fresh things that keep without refrigeration. Onions, peppers, limes, tomatoes, cucumbers. Mix those ingredients with fresh fish, clam, shrimp, conch, etc. for ceviche. Scoop with fried tortilla chips (decadent) or pilot bread (mundane). I know that I can eat ceviche three times a day (I am right now).

Rice is also on my list. Short grained California, aka, sushi rice. Soak 30 minutes, boil for 10, turn it off and wait 20 minutes. Takes more planning than fuel. Almost the same ingredients as above but roll in nori for fresh sushi.

I'm going to try dried cilantro flakes for the ceviche and washabi in a tube for the sushi. I suspect both will be the the weak points in a great fresh lunch or dinner. Maybe I need some live plants aboard like mariners of old. And a goat?

I would like to find milk (regular, 2%, soy, almond, whatever) in a small box so that it could be used up in one breakfast. Something the size of the kid's juice box. There are a million choices in fake "juice" day-glow kid's flavors, but I haven't seen milk yet.

Mark, Trader Joe's usually has small irradiated milk cartons that keep shelved for months.

Mark, Fresh cabbage might work on your list too. I don't cook or know ceviche, but I use it with some sliced Swiss for sandwich making.

If you are not opposed to soy or almond milk, you can get it in boxes, no refrigeration required. It comes in 1 Qt size, and once opened, it will last for the day, so you don't have to use it in one meal.

I like the 20 foot cooler idea. Have not tried that one.

Forgetting the "bum & baccy" bit Laughing There is only one dark rum and that is Meyer's. The rest is mouthwash.

Martin.

Marco,

I don't know if it's any good (because I was so bad at fishing I never got a chance to try it!), but I had a (re-sealable) tin of powdered wasabi along when sailing. If it was good, it would sure be easy/light/small/long-lasting on a C-Dory. I got it at a fancy Whole Foods type place.

Cabbage is on the list, along with tortillas. Cabbage is fridgeless lettuce. I don't know what they are doing to corn tortillas now, but they seem to last 10 days easily without refrigeration. Fish taco night (using cabbage).

I'm doing field research in Belize right now. Smile Poor me. I just found 6 oz. cans of evaporated milk for 75 cents U.S. They reconstitute to 9 oz. of whole milk. Most people bring back rum. I'll probably trigger some customs search by bringing back 20 cans of milk.

Ha! I hear you. I brought back one bottle of rum, and as much canned butter (and that sort of thing that you couldn't easily get here) as I could! Much better selection of non-refrigerated stuff in Central America (at least then).

Sounds like tough work. Stay careful. So a 6oz can could make 12 ounces of milk, until somebody figures out that it is just liquefied white powder. Let us know how long you will be staying Shocked Wink Laughing

Seriously, the Honeyville link posted earlier has really good powdered milk. I have used it for years.

Checked out the site and the Honeyville "non-milk" powder is rated even higher than their milk.

I'm a scone addict and have a "just add water" recipe that uses powdered egg and milk. The problem is trying to figure out a way to bake scones every morning on a 16. Powdered milk and muesli seems much simpler.

A lot of cruising sailors still do! Often they hang vertical gardens to the mast. We met a sailor on the Trent Severn a couple of years ago that had a herb garden growing on his foredeck. You can see his picture on page 4 of our Trent Severn album.

The goat would give you fresh milk and she would keep your crops trimmed so they didn't get out of hand making your boat top heavy! Cool

Regards, Rob
