pasta salad with crab, scallops, and mussels tossed in a roasted garlic vinegrette, a huge bowl of fruit salad, (let the store chop it up) a loaf of crusty bread, iced tea and a huge pitcher of margherittas :-)

@db - LOL. You won't catch me on a boat. ;-)

Homemade subs:
- Really good sliced ham
- Sliced cheese, your choice. We prefer havarti & provolone.
- Fresh baguette, sliced lengthwise
- Mayo & mustard on the side
Chicken salad with bagel crisps or crackers
Claussen dill pickle spears
Chips
Plums, nectarines, apples, grapes
Famous Amos or Chips Ahoy original chocolate chip cookies -- for some reason, they're a MUST-HAVE on the boat!
Always bring more food than you think you'll need. Everyone gets hungry out on the water!

Sandwiches from a local deli...Kasalta. Potato chips and Plantain chips to have on the side. Hummus and Pita chips. Strawberries and Seedless grapes. Lots of lemonade and other refreshing juices to mix with sparkling water. Some natural sodas.

One hour!! To shop and cook?! I would buy prepped salads, grab some deli meats and rolls and some rosé. But most captains of boats will only allow white wine. I like aromatics that crisp and clean on a boat. Try a sauvignon blanc, viognier, riesling or even an Albarino.
Cheers,
Angela

db--I am so with you and all other sea-green sailors here.
In addition to motion-sickness relief, I would add a one-liter bottle of ginger ale.

I'd swing to the farmer's market, pick up some aged cheese, a jug of cider, a baguette, apricots, cherries, carrots, arugula, pork sausages and some home-made cookies. Then I'd cook the sausages and slice thinly, wash the produce, slice the cheese, and cut the baguette in half lengthwise. I'd spread the baguette with mustard, and fill with arugula, sausage, and cheese. I'd wrap the completed baguette sandwich tightly then cut into 1/8ths and wrap again. I'd pack everything with lots of napkins, water, sunscreen and a few pressure-point wristbands just in case.

I'd bring:
a hibachi (to grill the fish that someone better catch) -or-
a Cassette Feu with a frying pan
cooked rice
shoyu
sake
brown sugar
sesame
Japanese pickled vegetables, preferably chilled but not necessary
tofu, preferably chilled but not necessary
cucumber
packet of shaved bonito
eggplant (grilled on hibachi, a hot side or the entree if no one catches any fish)
hot water dispenser (for tea)
tea leaves
regular water
Pretty easy stuff that I always have stocked.
