When It Rains, It Pours: Fixing the Boat and Feeding the Soul ⚓️ Ep. 107

⚓ Sailboat repair & galley cooking might seem like worlds apart, but on a boat, they’re two sides of the same coin. This week, we’re battling tropical storms in the harbor and dealing with the "Grind" of broken gear. From a stuck generator throttle lever on the carburetor to a failed fridge hydraulic that was literally holding our freezer closed, it’s a race against the clock to keep the mission alive. . But it’s not all busted knuckles. The "Babe" (Danielle) is taking over the galley with a Ho Maid Chef® masterclass, turning out Bacon Chicken Ranch subs and a slow-cooked steak dinner that makes the salt spray worth it. We’re consolidating our stores, fixing leaks, and prepping for the next leg of the journey. . ​. ​📝 READ THE FULL BLOG POST ​https://www.chrisdoeswhat.com/sailboat-repair-galley-cooking-subs/ . ​. ​🛠️ THE SHOP GAP (Products used in this video) ​Hydraulic Lift Struts (Get the right length/force): https://amzn.to/4tL087W ​PB Blaster (For the stuck throttle lever): https://amzn.to/4t6doUv ​Crockpot (Galley Essential): https://amzn.to/4msw0vB ​Ho Maid Chef® Ranch Seasoning: Check out our website and use our new search feature to find the right recipes for you! . ​. ​⚓ VIDEO CHAPTERS .
