Boat Safety Equipment Boating Articles

Boat Safety Equipment  Reviewed: May, 2009 Boating Review: Modern boats are safer than ever, yet still no match for nature’s worst. Make sure you’re prepared with the right safety equipment. Buy Boat Safety Equipment online and save. Safety First – Boating Article by Modern Boating If you stop and think about it, almost everything aboard your boat is a piece of safety equipment, from the hull keeping you from the bottom of the sea to the horn you’ve never used but could save your life one foggy day. Lacking gills or fins, humans should limit the time they spend underwater, yet most Australians are coastal dwellers who spend as much time in, on and under water as their bosses allow. Maybe one day we’ll evolve into scaly sea-creatures. Until then, we should take seriously the safety equipment aboard our boats. The treachery inherent to all waterways—seas, lakes or rivers has…

Cooking Fresh Fish - Fish Recipes & Cook's Tips on Yacht and Boat

By

Tips on cooking fresh fish Howdy folks, A lot of people have been asking me lately “how do I cook fresh fish fillets”? To answer theirs and your question: firstly put a combination of 50% butter (or margarine) and olive oil in the pan. The butter gives a rounded, gentle flavour without masking the fish’s freshness.

It has very delicate flesh as well as fine flavour.  The side that’s facing up is…

Italian Recipes - Genoa Italy - Food & Cooking Tips from CFC

By

>Italian Escape This month I’m thinking of Italy, my visit to Europe this winter (Euro-summer) and the some of the deliciously fresh ingredients that they put together for the dishes around Genoa where the Genoa International Boat Show has just finished for 2009. Fresh pesto is a popular flavouring agent to many of the local dishes. And its principal ingredient is fresh Basil, a herb readily available in Australia. My Italian friends here like to make their own and compete with one another’s Mama’s secrets for the best mix of ingredients. It’s good fun and good sense economically to make your own. Why not have a go, yourself? Just remember to use quality ingredients for best results. Notice that Basil growing in a pot has a much stronger, more potent aroma than ‘dead’ bunches. With bunches, check the smell and check the base of the stems to see that they…
