Book the Captain just finished for the third time: The Care and Feeding of the Sailing Crew, by Lin Pardey
On a 49 day voyage (49 days!), from Yokohama, Japan to Victoria, Canada, Lin Pardey wrote down just about everything you could want to know about food and crew care on a boat.
The stuff we loved
- specific info on how long each kind of fruit, vegetable, dairy, meat, whatever, lasts in a boat without refridgeration
- how to store food so it lasts as long as possible
- how to get the right kind of food in the first place
- how to track what you’ve got
- managing the galley organisation and layout
- planning meals for voyages
- how to cook with salt water – adapting recipes to make use of ocean water (and save your fresh water supplies)!
- managing meal prep and crew care across a variety of weather conditions…
- Actually, we loved it all.

Any other crew care/provisioning/cookbooks you would recommend for cruising?
I am always researching the next round of additions for our sea library…
