Good one, Jim. So few people do cooking at see videos. Maybe it isn’t so attractive watching people throw up, but the sea state doesn’t affect you, and I enjoyed that very much. There has got to be a good measure of “comedy” in the galley at sea.

Thanks William.. I too can get queasy, but it's usually on the first day and out after 2 or 3 days everything feels quite normal!

So that's how it's done! My galley is further back (under the bulge at the back of the cabin roof, so I can stand when cooking. But I see I am making too little use of onion and garlic ...

My one go to meal is Lentils & Rice. Single Serving: Presoak 1/4 cup Lentils for 3 hours, put drained Lentils in a pot + 1/4 cup Long Grain Rice + salt + 1 cup water, boil 8 minutes, turn low for 20 minutes. Optional: add ham pieces, diced onion, tomato paste, other seasonings, whatever is available.

Oh, the "fun" memories this video brought back. Wow! That's some tough cooking weather there. (To me, anyway.) You really had to fight for every morsel. I plan to do a LOT of cooking onboard when I go 'gunkholing' the Chesapeake and Delaware bays this summer, but I'm pretty sure that when things are bouncing around like in your video, it'll be sandwich weather or surplus military ration (MRE) for dinnertime.

Hmmm , one pot cooking , sounds perfect . A quick curry , can't think of anything better . Personally i would have cut the ingredients smaller , but that's just personal taste , and secondly i would source a smaller cooking pan for eating . Dish complete with handle , much easier to hold in a seaway . And if you've got a lid , would help to keep food warm , just in case to have to leave it , to attend to the necessary while under way .

Yes it is! Well spotted. It works a treat even downwind. The only trouble I had with a UK boat is that there is a large lazarette at the stern so you have to climb up on top of that to adjust, which can be scary at night or in fresh conditions... I'm just completing a modification that converts the bottom ring into a pulley which takes a cord so you can operate it from the cockpit..🙂
