Sailing Location: [insert location] ? Recipe breakdowns below! #sailingandcooking #galleycooking #sailingvlog #comfortfood #boatlife So where do I begin. We (I) changed our plans a lot! And I think most part down to my nerves about sailing with the bump and risking anything with mother or baby ... I think it's down to my confidence or lack there of, or just being to sensible?I would caveat this with the fact that I am more than happy to go out alone but struggle with the responsibility of the crew! Any advice regarding this would be great! _____________ We had planned this trip to the #rivercrouch and all was set.. it then very quickly felt lie the omens were aligning to stop us in our tracks. Firstly, a 2hr delay due to an overturned lorry, then the wind picked up to a force 6, so not only would we have missed the tide it would have been a bumpy ride to boot. We decided on stick,ing in our safe haven and doing the sensible thing by going for a walk to the pub #butt&oyster. The #riverstour needed to wait and so did our lovely #crazydiamond We cooked a jacket potato and fillet steak with some coleslaw (I know a jacket is not a culinary masterclass BUT simple things done well are often the best and I rarely get a good one if out and about! A good nights sleep was in order to rest and begin again in the morning! Up, shower, and of course breakfast and off we set... We enter the sea and hoist the sails.. the wind was a comfortable 3-4 and sea state had some swell left over from the winds the night before. As we turned down wind the motion of the #boat was very jolly which u fortunately nothing could be done about. We endured for an hour or so and after getting around 5 miles off shore I looked at Charlie and realised that this would not be great for her and the baby bump as we had around 7-8 more hours to go and the constant need to support herself (As we all do in these conditions) would not have been a wise choice.. Am I pushing my luck sailing at #31weekspregnant. (At the time of filming) (We are now 38 weeks!) ? We make the sensible choice and turn back to calmer waters and the relaxing #babymoon we had planned for the weekend. The sun agreed and shone hard on us all day and night and gave us a fantastic sunset.. we wafted down the river and cooked lunch. Quesadillas 1 x white onion 1 x red pepper 2 x garlic bulbs 10 cherry tomatoes (others will do) 1 tsp cumin seeds 1 x tsp smoked paprica 1 x tsp oregano 1 x tsp chives (Optional spices include, cajun, cayenne pepper, chilli) 80g grated cheddar 80g either gouda, red leister, mozzarella, (to be honest any melting cheese will do and the more the better) 4-6 x large tortillas to finish 2 x diced spring onions 1 bunch coriander, 1 bunch parsley diced Method... Watch the video! The next day we considered going back to the #riverorwell but decided to go out to #sea to have a sail.. the weather was perfect and we had a fantastic day! Not to mention sailing through a race at #felixstowe port / #harwich As always.. Thank you for watching Love Carl & Charlie x
