Ah yes, pistachios and chocolate cake! The staples of life while 
kayak camping. I like to keep some chocolate cake wrapped in cling-
wrap on the front of my spray skirt for some quick energy on those 
long traverses from island to island. I've learned that the sterling 
silver forks don't like salt water through, so I've had to switch to 
just regular flatware while camping.

I'm still experimenting with velcro fasteners for the tea cups and 
saucers, so they will stay in play on the foredeck in heavy weather. 
And, of course, trying to find a cover for a Royal Doulton tea cup 
that will stay in place and not ruin the aesthetics ... need I say 
that it's been a fruitless search so far?
