One of the beloved features of Gigi II, our T@B-Clamshell, was the outdoor kitchen. It was a delight to just open up, have everything within easy reach and make a meal in the outdoors under the shelter of the hatch cover. It invited us outside and kept the heat and smells out of the interior. Yes, there were a few times that weather prevented us from being able to prepare a meal. Yes, we did have to be presentable before venturing out to make our morning hot beverages. Yes, the exhaust fan in the 400 does a great job of handling the heat and the smell. However an outdoor kitchen is still a delight. We set it up this morning and expect to use it throughout our multi-night stay here at Canal. The Triton Stove performed admirably for our eggs and sausage in the GCI skillet this morning. It’s not the same experience as the old 1960’s Coleman gas stove we once used. Continous fuel flow and fine control of the flame are wonderful things. Next time we’ll try out the Triton griddle! Our plan for today is to hang around camp, give Eric and ourselves a rest, maybe organize the bed of the truck, and a compartment or two in the 400.
Cozumel & Grand Cayman
Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.
