Added some bacon cubes fried with cucumber (I love fried cucumber!) to the last leftovers of yesterday and the day before to have enough for a meal.
Also had a couple of beers and some of my neighbour's whisky.
And then I saw someone needing a mate on a 3 masted sailing ship for friday and saturday in a Facebook group.
To give myself credit, I did check the weather forecast before reacting, but it's been a very long time between covid and general anxiety that I was sailing for work.
As a rule, you eat with the guests (those ships are manned by two professionals, me and the captain, plus some 30 paying guests). Food varies from spaghetti with ketchup with school groups to 5 course meals for family groups that happen to have an enthousiastic cook in the family, or it may happen you'll be taken out for dinner.
In this case it's a company outing with people from Belgium.
Which means it can go anywhere, foodwise.
Two full days of socialising and guiding people into the workings of the ship will likely stretch me to the max, mentally, without also throwing carb heavy food and trying to dose for it into the mix.
So I have a couple of days to work out a plan. In case of very good food, I'll want to eat with them, but if not or mediocre I'll want to have a back-up of something filling and low carb.
And of course I'll have to bring something easy for breakfast and lunch, but that's not so much of an issue. The guests will likely eat in the hold while I have to stay outside paying attention to the ship, very easy to transfer the fillings of their rolls to my slice of low carb bread.
I'll do some more thinking on it, but I sure make interesting decisions after drinking my neighbour's whisky!
And I'll send you a picture of course!
