Continuing to enjoy the galley. Hit farmers market in Sausalito this morning for fresh strawberries and cherries. Cooked pasta with Alfredo sauce and shiitake mushrooms for dinner.
Pasta Alfredo with mushrooms
Cooking on the boat
As I’m without a car this weekend, I stocked up on groceries and ended up cooking more than I usually do. But it was fun and turned out great, despite somewhat cramped quarters.
Pasta with Alfredo sauce and shiitake mushrooms:
Steak with asparagus
Avocado toast with boiled egg and sriracha (don’t have room for a proper toaster so used the pan).
Finished throttle cover
The teak cover I CNCd awhile back finally found its place. Stained and varnished it, then epoxied the base.
Then finally screwed on the top. Looking good!
First meals in the galley
Great to be able to use the galley to cook and warm up some food! A bunch of improvements were already evident – need to organize the space a bit better. But still – getting closer to a very livable space.
Knife block
My original plan was to make a knife block behind the stove but then I saw a really nice magnetic wood-covered strip and decided to mount them on the wall. Will need to add a rubber band to hold them tighter so they don’t fall off while sailing.
Soap holder
Re-installed finished panels
Finally put the galley and the new starboard locker back together, now with finished panels. Love that warm color!
Installed cutting board. Galley – done!
Installed pull handle and re-used hole saw cutouts as stoppers on the underside. With cutting board in place, the galley is complete. Just need to varnish the panels and get teak trim installed 🙂
Finalizing cutting board
Made a piece for the front of the cutting board, rounded edges, and glued it in.
Then made a juice groove by sticking a centerpiece on the board using double-sided tape and then routing around it. Hindsight: might have been better to use CNC for this and do a cleaner groove with shape closer to square.
Galley dry fit complete, stove mounted
Took some time to fit all the CNCd pieces together. Man, this boat has no straight angles anywhere and all the measurements end up requiring some adjustment when parts are installed. Nevertheless, it call came together today. Not 100% done but only minor fit adjustments left to finalize it.
