Always Be (able to) Cook, that is. These are three kinds of spares to make sure you have aboard to be truly self-sufficient.
Summary:
Redundancy is a crucial aspect of being a self-sufficient cruiser. But it's vital in the galley. If you always have these three spares aboard, you'll always be able to cook or eat.
First, have an extra fuel source. Whether you use electric or some form of gas, have a backup. An electrical issue or running out of fuel happens at the most inconvenient time. Avoid it by being ready.
Secondly, have spare equipment. If your stove fails, can you use your grill? Do you have a solar oven on board? Have you packed spare fuses to make a quick repair?
Finally, always have spare food. In particular, that means having things you can eat without cooking. A can of beans may not be an inspired meal. But you'll be grateful for it if other options fail. Fruit and cheese will do in a pinch if you find yourself unable to cook your planned menu.
Being prepared to have a redundant galley will save you money, make you more self-sufficient, and give you a sense of accomplishment while cruising. For more details, listen to the full podcast or read the transcript on The Boat Galley website.
