Food
Comfortably providing food during the first days of passage
What is the issue?
The first days of a passage can be challenging to the entire crew as this is the time when seasickness has its most marked effect.
Why address this?
Preparing food at this stage of the passage is a highly uncomfortable task. Having a good wholesome solution on tap for the crew will be of enormous benefit as a whole.
How to address this?
Cook a large pot of stew immediately prior to departure accompanied by sufficient bread. Having this readily available minimises the amount of galley time required at the outset of a passage.
This is a simple solution to maximise galley time when it is steady and external resources are available.
