       Hey, @morgan3d, speaking as an absolute newbie about sailing: would you be kind enough to make a thread on how you cook? I assume you have stabilizers on the stove, and things that prevent the pans from falling? Thanks a lot in advance.

       @nholzschuch Yes! Sailboats lean up to 20 degrees while moving. Gravity's on a diagonal inside, so there's grab bars and "fiddles" for moving about and "lee cloths" for holding yourself in bed.What about the stove? It has a gimbal so that it can tilt to stay upright along one axis, and a big grab bar in the front. There's often little clamps to hold the pots in place as well....

       @nholzschuch On a good boat, there's a place to brace your back or leg to keep your hands free. If there isn't bracing, there's a giant seat belt for the cook. I don't like those because you can't jump back from boiling soup or spitting oil.I like to eat and cook well, including on a boat. It is a tiny little kitchen with no electric appliances, but that just means careful planning and getting back to basics with traditional food prep methods.

       @nholzschuch Since my cooking tends to a lot of fresh fruit & veg, cheese, fish, and bread, I plan the prep carefully but can make the meals quickly.If underway and solo I do prep in the cockpit outdoors while sailing and then duck in to check on the oven with the boat on autopilot.

       @nholzschuch My current boat doesn't have a any solar power for recharging the batteries (they do recharge from running the diesel engine). So if I'm not motoring, I depend on ice packs for cooling and run out of fresh food after a few days.Then it is canned and other preserved foods. Thankfully, the most critical staples of wine and cheese are preserved foods :)
