Sometimes it\u2019s not about whether you\u2019d care for a pear, it\u2019s more like, if I don\u2019t eat this bruised pear right now, it is going to be mush in an hour and I\u2019ll have to toss it overboard (and they cost me $5 apiece in Tahiti and I won\u2019t see another pear for three months). My eating schedule is dictated by priorities \u2026 what needs to be eaten before it goes bad \u2026 or the seas are going to be rough this afternoon, so I better prepare a meal now \u2026 or my next destination does not allow the import of honey, so I better use it up \u2026 or I need to go up the mast this morning, so I better skip breakfast (because it\u2019s hard to exercise strenuously on a full stomach). Sometimes it\u2019s the other way around \u2026 I\u2019m hungry but this squall necessitates I steer the boat by hand (while I gobble a handful of nuts using my other hand) \u2026 I was planning to eat that meal I prepared for the passage, but when I opened it up I discovered it had already gone off. Sometimes things are on sale \u2026 I just caught a big Mai-Mai and fish does not keep in the fridge for more than five days \u2026 or that bunch of three dozen green bananas I brought onboard five days ago have all ripened at the same time. I don\u2019t really have meals \u2026 I snack all the time. Especially on a passage, I rarely have time or the opportunity to \u201cprepare\u201d a meal. I\u2019m too busy either doing boat stuff or sleeping. I\u2019ll have a can of corn. Later, I\u2019ll have a chunk of cheese or a hard boiled egg. Then, maybe an orange. I do try to eat a balanced menu, just not all at the same time. My relatives probably remember when I was a kid, my ADHD (they didn\u2019t call it that back then) didn\u2019t allow different types of food touch each other. I would sort food on the plate and eat one type at a time. It\u2019s sort of like that on the boat.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
