It is difficult and sometimes impossible to cook while sailing, either because the seas are too rough or I am tired from handling the boat. Do, I usually spend the day before my departure cooking. In this case, I took a chicken carcass (from which I had taken the meat for sandwiches) and made broth in a pressure cooker for 45 minutes. I took the carcass out, added carrots, potatoes, onion, garlic, a can of diced tomatoes, and a bag of dry lentils and cooked for 10 minutes, then added the meat from the carcass. This made perhaps five meals. I usually eat something like this cold, not bothering to dirty dishes to heat it up. Besides, it\u2019s warm enough at latitude 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"439\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aegir-ran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1354.jpeg?resize=525%2C439&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1870\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aegir-ran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1354-scaled.jpeg?resize=1024%2C856&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aegir-ran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1354-scaled.jpeg?resize=300%2C251&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aegir-ran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1354-scaled.jpeg?resize=768%2C642&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/aegir-ran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_1354-scaled.jpeg?resize=1536%2C1283&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before an extended passage, in this case a little over two weeks from Tahiti to Tonga, I prepare meals.
