I am not a baker. At all. I very rarely make cookies, and I seldom even buy bread. But a friend of ours recently told us about this Lékué silicone bread maker (it's really just a floppy bowl with a slot and a tab) and I thought it might be cool for the boat…

You receive a weekly box of fresh and seasonal ingredients, pre-portioned for the recipes you choose.

I found the perfect cocktail shaker for the boat! Greg Just over at Just Turned hand turns these beautiful wooden cocktail shakers in his Blaine, Minnesota studio. He uses walnut, cherry, maple, birch, and will do custom orders if you don't find what you want in his shop. The shaker…

Airship Goes to Alaska We made this last night and it was SO good, I thought I'd share. I found this risotto recipe from the NY Times in my inbox yesterday morning, and remembered I'd brought from home the last of a bag of arborio rice in case I wanted to…

Airship Goes to Alaska Yesterday we decided to rent a car so we could do a little sightseeing and shopping, and so that we'd have a convenient way to take Christy and Mijonet to the airport on Monday. It was a rainy day, so we suited up and walked downtown…

This was the view from our top deck in Echo Bay at Sucia Island last night as the sun set: And this was our little beggar buddy who hung out by the boat for a while. We didn't give him anything, but I think they must get conditioned that the…
