I am obsessed with any food I can buy which doesn’t need to be frozen or refrigerated! I have lately found chocolate sauce, soup and chocolate creme patisserie (think thats how you spell it).

The list of easy to cook, long shelf life items is one I keep adding to but I’m hoping we will catch plenty of fish on the Atlantic crossing. We have enough books about fishing – will that help I wonder?

One book I have has recipes based on wind strength and predictably virtually all you get in a hurricane is sandwiches. I would love to find a list of what people do take and use on a 3 week crossing for 5 people but it looks like I’ll have to guess at that myself.
