Everyday over the last few weeks I have been thinking that this time next year I will be somewhere between Plymouth and Newport and try to plan my menu. I am obsessed with food.
Unfortunately I'm having trouble trying to bring some variety into my diet and it is distressing me. So far I seem to stick on cereal or home made bread for breakfast. Cheese and bread for lunch or maybe Chinese noodles for some variety. And inevitably I don't seem to be able to go beyond stew or spaghetti for supper.
Everything will probably come out of a tin as I have no fridge. But some experiments have shown that potatoes, onions and apples seem to last well on the boat. I was also thinking about dried lentils and peas.
I suppose the point of this post is to ask what does everyone else envisages they will be eating in a years time? I did a trip with a delivery skipper some time ago and it's amazing what I learnt about eating on long voyages from him - but on that trip we were dependent on a fridge and had to keep the batteries charged as a result.
