- Who read the Windtraveler’s (second-hand) post on how a life raft might NOT save your life? Scary, right? But definitely good to know.
- This week, I learned that wearing one ear plug helps combat sea + motion sickness. Who knew! I’m pretty sure I’ll be testing out this theory myself.
- This baby & this dog. I love it so much. (So of course I started following Momma’s Gone City on Insta + FB.)
- What to say when you’re asked to work for free. Ugh! I need this desperately for the photo biz.
- Can someone tell me if there’s any reason we need more than 3 pots/pans in our tiny galley kitchen? Trying to figure out what the appeal is for a 10-piece nesting cookware set vs. a cheaper 7-piece one.
- I whole-heartedly intended to make something from my Autumn Pinterest board (should really rename it my “pumpkin” board) this season, but have not made one darn thing from this collection of awesome goodies. Figures.
- Speaking of pumpkin, when does Starbuck’s stop selling pumpkin spice? Before or after Christmas? I need to know!
- I’ve been poking around this new blog lately and I like what I see!
- If you have a Trader Joe’s in your town, RUN and stock up on these mini pecan and mini pumpkin pies. They will change your life. Just ask Jereme.
- Looking forward to this weekend’s boat show in St. Pete, and hoping to meet a few fellow cruising bloggers and snag a few deals while we’re there!
>>Thanks for visiting LAHOWIND sailing blog! We’d love for you to get to know us and follow our story as we attempt to navigate a whole new world of sailing.
Yay for #8 🙂 Thank you so much for the compliment!!! We were pleasantly surprised to see our website come up when we clicked on the link 🙂
You posted lots of cool things to check out. We also saw the earplug thing and can’t wait to try it out.
As for the pots and pans, I left the majority of my set back home in storage and took a medium and a small nonstick pan, a medium a small SS pot, three sizes of lids and a square flat nonstick pan for tortillas. I don’t regret leave the rest at all since nothing bigger would have fit on top of our stove. Although we have three burners there’s only so much room. We’ve been living aboard for a little more than two months now and the I don’t wish I had any more than this for pots and pans. Plus, its not an option to leave any dirty pans in the sink (to prevent the cockroaches of course!) so we always have clean pans available.
And, we will for sure be at the show this weekend! I’ll text you on friday sometime to see where we can meet up. We’ll see you for sure at the Chris Parker seminar 🙂
Hi Jody! Thanks for the info on the pots + pans and what’s working for you guys. I am currently building a pretty hefty amazon cart of boat stuff we still need. I haven’t ever “really” cooked on our boat, so I’m kinda clueless. 😉 See you Saturday at the show! -Kim
I recently read about the earplug thing too! Can’t wait to try that one out. We don’t really have rough seas where we’re anchored now (in the river) so sea sickness hasn’t been a problem for me. In general though it does get to me…
For the pots/pans. It really depends on if you like to cook. I’d advise measuring the size of the pans to make sure they fit on a smaller than normal size boat stove. I know I had to give some of my good stuff to my mother when it wouldn’t fit. As for what we’ve used in the year we’ve been aboard – 2 small sauce pans, 1 frying pan, 2 larger sauce pans and one pressure cooker. I do wish I had one more frying pan and may end up picking one up. I know some people swear by the nesting pots/pans but just make sure they have a solid handle for you to pick up the pans by and nothing flimsy.
