For our Garcia Exploration 45 we decided to stick with the standard gas cooker, to maximise our autonomy in places where solar performance is suboptimal. When we do have plentiful electricity we’ll use induction and microwave cooking. Did I say we’re in a rolly anchorage? It is rolly, but it’s a well protected marina. A ripper English Channel winter storm started on cue in the middle of the night and hasn’t let up all day. Carolyn and I were up at 2.30am to check what was banging (the anchor in the bowsprit) and to stop our tender from becoming an aeroplane. Carolyn’s mooring line cleat hitches were all holding well - the day dawned and we were still in the same slip, which is the plan.
