T&T: Bulk Food Items in Galley

[Bob Austin]

I don't feel that anyone who eats at restraunts only should attempt the 
inland passage to Alaska--or perhaps any significant voyage in a small boat 
where they cannot marina hop!

I was thinking that each port was less than a couple of weeks apart or even 
a month a part and that was plenty of time to live off "normal" grocery 
store portions of food--not wholesale quanities of 30 lbs of anything.

I am married to a good Southern Girl, who is one of the best cooks in the 
world-We always had fresh cakes, pies, homemade bread and cookies in the 
works or just made when we were in anchorages--and gave some to anchored 
fisherman or loggers who we met.  In return we were invited to very good 
meals on board their vessels or in the logging camps.  I wonder if you have 
been to a modern logging Camp?--the "vittles" there are positatively 
outstanding--not moose meat by any standards.

In any case, it is always a good experience to try and see how others 
live--and partake of their food--part of the adventure.  Living off the 
local economy can be turely a great adventure and rewarding.
