OK I'm going to take a break from all things boat buying and house selling and give you all something I rarely do on this blog - a shameless plug for a truly amazing boat product. They're called Lock and Lock containers (not the most original name I agree, but it does get the point across). They are airtight and as far as I can tell, watertight as well. They have a silicone seal around the top edge of the lid and you snap down 2 handles on each long side and then snap down 2 handles on each short side. The one I have has a lift-out plastic grate on the bottom and with the grate in place you can fill the box with cut vegetables and they will be exactly as fresh a week later as the day you put them in there. They also work great for cut meat and cheese and cut fruit and a whole host of other things that cruisers are always trying to keep fresh on a boat. They also stack, a rather handy little feature in volume-challenged boat refrigerators. I highly recommend them to both land and water based galley workers. Lock and Lock are the best!
(or how to move onto a sailboat) With the advent of our 50th birthdays came the usual sorts of life evaluations that one goes through. At what have I succeeded? What contributions have I made? What do I have left that I want to do before I die? Living on the water was high on both our lists. For any who share the dream, and for our family members who might not understand, this is our story. We don't know where it will take us, but welcome along for the ride!
