As I was
typing this title I realize this summer’s journey is back tracking the end of
last semester. My last few Sailing Along
entries were the Netherlands to Scotland, Scotland to Norway. This summer it’s
Norway to Scotland, Scotland to the Netherlands! Confused yet?
Canada Day
happened during this sail and to celebrate Nadia and I made banana bread with
maple icing. There are 7 Canadians on
board and (with the captain’s permission) we hoisted a Canadian flag and sang O
Canada at afternoon coffee.
I made pad
Thai for dinner one night, it wasn’t my best but the crew appreciated a break
from Scandinavian food (at least the North American ones did). Hopefully I will
be able to make it again with better results.
Fourth of
July was also arrival day in Harlingen and after having made a special Canadian
snack Nadia and I felt we needed to do one for the Americans too. After vetoing their suggestions (barbecque,
burgers, pulled pork) we decided to make ice cream sandwiches. This turned out to be a perfect snack, it was
a hot day and coffee time was delayed as the crew brought the ship in and got
her safely alongside.
Hmm… this
entry seems to be mostly food oriented, perhaps not surprising since I’m the
cook!
