Im in a book titled: " Voyaging On A Small Income" written by Annie Hill, 1993, Tiller Publishing Co., P O Box 447, St. Michaels, MD 21663.

Anything you want to know about small boat cruising, especially food & diet, are well presented and uncomplicated. Ms Annie Hill does a great job in her book.

I learned that sardines are better when you remove that black backbone, and scrape the fish. But, you cant imagine the number of ways a fresh can of sardines can be prepared -- :P

:macx:

ERIC: this is the book I mentioned in my Personal Message to you.

hello ANDY26M told the chef of your ideas, and amazingly, Alice put the info into her notebook :!: :!: :!: don't know what "specialized" food costs because i've never had the desire to go out and do that healthy stuff. i have always followed Sir Winston Churchill's advice re: healthy exercise. call Nutrisystem and tell them what you do to provision, maybe they will hire you as a spokesman along with all of the JOCKS AND BEAUTIES 8) 8) thank you for the input, Alice and Stew,"THE RESTLESS TWO"

Menemsha has a great pond for Macs with a narrow mile long channel that keel boats hate leading in. Long enough to keep the big boats out, but short enough to dinghy (watch tidal rip though)

Good restaurants on the wharf, but not cheap. Anyone with daughters older than 12 watch out for the Kennedys

Cape Cod

Post by DaveB »

I see you do a lot of time on the Cape, I was born in Hyannis and lived most of my life on the Cape. One of my favorites was to go out and dig a bussel of steamers and Quhaugs and steam them up on the boat along with any fish at the time (Flounder,Blue Fish, Strip Bass etc).
In the Fall I would drag for Bay Scallups.
I did the Islands often and miss the area but now I hear residents now have to pay $100 a permit just to get a shellfish lic. in Barnstable, Sandy Neck always had best Steamers and Quhaugs, before Egg Island got poluted.
Cuttyhunk I got a bad batch of Cherry stones and was laid up in Block Island for a week.
One thing about eating on salt water boating...the food tastes so good and never have found out why.

Menemsha cut to Pond

Post by DaveB »

Last time I did that cut was around 1979, I had a Seafear 22 and had to wait till the tide changed as the cut had 3 knots of current or more and very narrow but once inside was a great Anchorage.
I did the trip once with my 19 ft. Lighting and breezed right thru it with Board 90% up. My Alberg 35 with a 5'-6" draft loaded wouldn't stand a chance not even in a full moon.
I always stoped over there heading to Block Island or Cuttyhunk.
