PONDER YOUR GALLEY APPLIANCES
I have a friend who runs her engine
every time she wants to make a coffee.
She thinks I am nuts.
I don’t know if you can get a 12V
espresso machine. I don’t know if
you can get one that would run on an
inverter. Luckily, we are tea drinkers.
However we do have a French press for
guests, which makes a jolly fine brew
and only uses gas.
Also consider purchasing a hand
blender, 12V appliances and/or appliances
that will run off your inverter.
VACUUM SEAL MEATS
Now this is a goodie I learnt a few years
back. Vacuum sealed meats do not need
to be frozen. They will last up to three
months chilled. Another small way to
save on power consumption.
FOOD AND ENTERTAINMENT
So turns out this is one of the biggest
spends on the cruising budget for
most people.
When it comes to socialising I really
enjoy getting people over, with everyone
bringing a shared plate.
