    OUR STORY:

    Hey Kristina, to avoid things go sliding of your table or kitchen tops... Place a moist towel first on them, and then you put everything on top of that.
    Nothing will go sliding anymore, I promise.
    I learned that on those Big Ocean going Tugboats I use to sail on many years ago.
    Wishing the two of you and your followers a wonderful 2023 ❤👄

As for John I think a good old captains beard would suit him fine. It sure is another world up there in Nth Qld & looks like the best way to see off shore is by boat as you can stop wwherever you wish. You guys seem to be getting a better tan each episode. Well guys thanks so much for keeping me entertained almost each week with new videos. I wish you both a happy & safe 2023 & stay safe on the water. Regards.

    At 10:40, about the dangers of boiling water on a boat, I just had the idea that a pressure cooker may be suitable in such a case. Even for pasta … I always do even pasta in a pressure cooker, it just needs figuring out the exact amounts and timing once, per type of pasta, and then it works every time. (Probably don't use the Indian-style pressure cookers with a weighted valve on a boat, though. If these falls over, they may spray around hot water through the valve.)

    • @KristinasTravels
      @KristinasTravels  Před rokem

      When I showed John the final episode that’s what he said!! Haha 😆 Great minds obviously think alike! Getting your boat set up can be expensive initially, so your first year could be expensive, but then after that, besides general maintenance you can really live cheaply in my opinion and do it for $10-15k a year!!! As long as you don’t get a big ticket costly item hit you hard (maintenance wise!) Much love and HNY Steve!

    I haven't been able to try it yet but a dry bag is supposed to make a great low tech washing machine. You add your clothes, a little water, and soap and then roll the top closed. You roll the whole bag around and squish it back and forth. Then drain and rinse. It does seem easier than a bucket. If you two spend much time hand washing then maybe give it a shot and let us know what you prefer? 😀

    Buy a leather apron made for welding. Wear when boiling water or hot liquid while heeling. Wear a ponytail, maybe tied with a bowline knot 😁- you don't want your stove flame touching your hair if there is a rogue wave. Of all the cruisers I watch, I've often wondered who is the best cook? I think you are food looks pretty good. I don't now why I'm thinking of food now as I just had a toasted onion bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon, and I am sated!
