Offshore Race Food: Eating Well in Challenging Sailboat Conditions

Everyone needs to eat but racing across 1000's of miles of open ocean or up the inside passage towards Alaska can present certain challenges. This is the story of how I figured out what food to make, how to create and reheat the food. I cover how to look at a vessel, what to do for planning with the space you have to work with as well as choices on creating interesting, flavorful and nutritious food. The second half of the book is about the Transpac Race, freezing meals and creating some clear instructions for the crew to unpack and heat them. The R2AK section, or first half of the book, is about a specific type of journey where we needed smaller sized meals so I dehydrated the food. I have also included my recipes for both journeys so you can experiment with these at home. Good luck and safe travels!
