Cooking across the Atlantic, Julia Horner

"It’s a cook’s dilemma not to overprovision and have perishable things wasted, or get to the stage where there is not much variety left.” says Julia in her diary of a boat cook.  When John Simpson stood up at a CA Crewing Service meeting to ask for volunteers to join him on the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers, Julia jumped at the chance.

Her talk will cover provisioning for a long voyage with four people and no freezer, and the techniques she used for keeping both food and crew fresh to the end: selecting, packing and checking produce for maximum lifespan, planning to conserve fuel, catching fish, discouraging cockroaches and dealing with rubbish – oh and sailing of course.

It’s not only an army that marches on its stomach and this talk is packed with brilliant ideas and advice for all cruising sailors.
