We didn't expect to cook breakfast in a hot spring. San Kamphaeng hot springs, just outside Chiang Mai. Locals come every weekend with their families, picnics and everyone waiting for their number at the egg station. Here's how it works: you buy a basket of raw eggs, a woven holder, and soy sauce. Find a free hook, every hook has a number so no one steals your eggs 😄, hang your basket in the bubbling water, check the chart for soft or hard, and wait. The water shoots 3 metres out of the ground. Natural. Powerful. Completely free to watch. We added salt instead of soy sauce. Old habits. Best eggs we've ever had. No kitchen required. This is one afternoon outside Chiang Mai. We found 40+ spots like this, the kind that don't appear on any list. Chiang Mai Like a Local · Live Full. Eat Slow. More at @sailingkanoa 🔖
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.
We are on day two of our passage in the Gulf Stream. Our parents said our boat is hauling quickly through the water from 2 to 4 knots of current in the direction we are traveling. Today is much better.#adventurecats #adventurecatsofinstagram #sailingcats #sailingmainecoons #adventuremainecoons #travelcatsofinstagram
