Moondance's Galley aka Kitchen

As we all know, well those of us who cook, you need a nicely stocked galley aka kitchen on your boat. That means some thoughtful research and shopping for just the right supplies. To many things and you won't have room, too few and not much cooking will go on. So I have read blogs and looked at books and decided to do some shopping. Online shopping is my favorite way to shop these days. What I decided on was plates of course sail flag designed melamine, silverware blue handles to match the sail flag plates. :) utensils, some thought goes into that because Moondance has a small silverware drawer and a few wooden spoons, spatula and large spoon. Still trying to decide on cups??? Not sure what kind and how many we can have onboard?? Except of course coffee mugs, sailing mugs no less.

 We like the saying "keep calm and carry on", so when I found the coffee mug that said "keep calm and sail one" HAD to have it to go with Moondance's coffee maker. Coffee isn't as good in a glass or plastic cup, probably a psychological thing more than anything. Then there's the toaster of course. 
Not much but we still have a mental list of other things we think might be useful for our summer sailing excursion. Maybe a griddle, John loves pancakes. A crock pot is a possibility. These items will have to be stored in the starboard front cabin as Moondance's galley is compact. There is also the need for that new refrigerator and freezer. Since we lost the refrigerator when the batteries were left to dehydrate in Miami. We decided a freezer would be awesome. I decided a drawer type fridge and freezer is the best for us. Thinking about some type of oven and bread maker. More research needed for those items. It is all about space and electric capabilities. Then there are cooking pots. They sell pans that fit nicely into each other and the handles come off. They take up very little space. Then there the few decorations to make it homey.......baskets and nice sailboat and red kitchen towels. We also need to decide on where to put a paper towel holder that won't fly away when it gets rough at sea. We tried Velcro for a decorative wooden anchor we got for Christmas. That may work, will have to try it. We put the anchor on a shelf so far so good. This is kinda like that first apartment or dorm room when you leave home the first time :).....
Life Is Good, Sail On !!!!
