No Snark Intended, Honest
For me, it's the blue china that speaks more loudly than the toaster. There's gotta be a jar of Grey Poupon on this yacht somewhere.

So how do those with fine china keep it from getting smashed to smithereens on a rough passage? Not that the answer will change the way we do things; I'm just curious.
Those must be just the "every-day" dishes. The fine china is reserved for those rough upwind slogs .
Perfect example of the benefits of a genset. Anchorages do not get more remote than at the Galapagos.
One mans energy buget
It has been said that one man's gale is another's fresh breeze. I think the same could be said of our energy budgets. One man's electrical necessities are another's opulent extravagant.
Now how do they handle their fresh water budget? I'm thinking there are not that many rain showers in that part of the equator ocean and just a few fresh water sources on land.

I checked the blog and it mentioned a watermaker... just one more thing requiring electrons.
IMHO, fine china aboard a boat is a bit over the top; I'll take unbrekable stuff any day. BUT... consider that this comment comes from someone who doesn't even have a set of fine china at home!
one man's necessities
Well there you go! Next thing we'll find out is they have an electric skillet for southern fried chicken and blender for margaritas and of course the ultimate extravagance on a sailboat near the equator, ice.
I made ice once. took about 3 days to freeze once I found that "sweet spot" in the freezer. before you brand me it was only half a tray.

I agree. I got tired of eating off plastic or paper a loooong time ago. Our old china came in handy, and we use some styrofoam and the plates themselves to keep them pretty well locked in to the cupboard. Stuff hasn't moved in years. Because the arrangement locks everything in, it also requires me to do ALL of the dishes and dry them and put them back before getting underway, or else they slap around! A place for everything and everything in its place sure applies here!
Roughing it !!!
Well everybody I guess im from the old school. China? Linen Napkins? I still use plastic dinnerwear and paper napkins. But dont forget this is coming from a sailor that uses a bucket for a head. Im sure Im gonna get another reprimand from Peggy Hall about this
