Cooking on a yacht sound like fun making the whole trip very comfortable.

I would expect you would use it when anchored in a flat harbour.

Be a great way to eat fresh fish or another goodies you catch.

I don't care how it's powered......

What did you do that was really special on it beyond the 2 mentioned.


With a yacht of that size, we didn't just putter around The Harbour. We regularly sailed up to Palm Beach and anchored there for the weekend.

The weather could get a little wild at times, I had to pull my weight (stuff the hairdo and fingernails).

Never actually caught any fresh fish to eat. A lot of alcohol was consumed.  Old Salts are like that. Grin 

Lots of fun had by all. Those were the days!

Actually, when I moved to Canberra, a chap I met learned that I used to go sailing in Sydney.  He offered to take me out on Lake Burley Griffin on his "Gwen". Grin Grin A "Gwen" is a 12' Dinghy.  After I recovered from collapsing from laughing, I declined the offer.  Grin

Why.  You can't handle a trapeze?  (I used to race one as crew on the Burnett River, Bundaberg.)

Ferk off with the petty insults.  This is the Gwen 12 I was referring to...as was probably that bloke.

...

That thing you put up was a skiff.  You are talking shite, as usual.

I can't swim very well.  Grin  I have never had any intention of drowning myself on a "Gwen". Nor would I go up in a Hot air balloon.

Besides, I prefer LUXURY to exercise.

What is your Golf handicap, Aussie? Mine is pretty good too.  Wink

Best I got it to was 9 (might have squeezed an 8.)  It is no longer that.

That's good. My sister was a natural Golfer, she is still a Member of this Club. Played off 4 at one stage. Her son is also a golfer and turned professional way back.

Way back, we used to go sailing every weekend on the Sydney Harbour.

Here is one recipe I did in the Galley. Wink

Another one was:

I used to love Coquilles St Jacques but haven't made them for years.

Sydney harbour is awesome on a boat.  I used to tag along on a friend's massive catamaran for the Sydney to Manly races many moons ago.

Yes, Aussie.  The yacht had an oven in the galley.  It was a 42 ft Yawl, similar to this.  It also had a toilet and shower.  Cheesy  It was moored at the Cruising Yacht Club (CYCA) Marina, Rushcutters Bay.

Love the CYCA Smiley

I actually get really seasick on large boats so my kind of sailing is where you're part of the rig (windsurfing).

This may be my toy for next summer but not sure where I'd put the oven for the Coquilles St.-Jacques. Smiley

Correct.


So....the oven on the yacht you were referring to was LPG powered?


Aussie must have a butter chicken recipe he can share with us ...

Take a beaded seat cover which has been used by an Indian taxi driver for at least 1 month, soak it in a tub of hot water over night then boil the liquid until it reduces to a thick paste.
This is the base of our award winning Butter Chicken.
