FREE Downloads

Ohhh, free stuff!  Everybody’s favorite!

I’ve come across a number of good FREE PDF downloads that are useful on a boat, plus I posted my downloadable Inventory and Provisioning Spreadsheet.

Here, I’ve collected all the articles in one place, making it easy for you to download them.  One word of advice, though — don’t use the PDF link at the bottom of this article.  That will simply make a PDF of this page but won’t get you the “real” PDFs.

Follow the directions in each article to download the PDFs you want — most are actually located on other sites.  They’re great to print out and laminate, leave on the computer for reference or — a favorite with many cruisers — load onto a Kindle or other portable device so that it’s easy to take them with you when provisioning!

• Downloadable Provisioning Spreadsheet
• FREE Beef Information for Cruisers
• How to Grill Guides: FREE PDF Downloads
• Spices in Foreign Languages: PDFs
• Chili Pepper Guide: PDF & Tips
• How to Cut Up or Bone a Chicken: FREE PDF’s
• Pork: FREE Downloads
• What’s on the Boat?

And don’t forget that you can get a free sample of The Boat Galley Cookbook, with 33 recipes in a 28-page PDF.

And some good non-galley downloads . . .

• BoatUS Hurricane Prep Guide
• CommuterCruiser Monthly Maintenance Checklist
• CommuterCruiser Checklist to Leave the Boat for the Holidays
• CommuterCruiser Checklist for Leaving the Dock
• CommuterCruiser Caretaker Checklist
• CommuterCruiser Checklist to Leave the Boat in the Water
• CommuterCruiser Checklist When Leaving Boat (Outside a Hurricane Zone)

And if you’d like to spread the word about TBG — maybe with an article in your sailing club or marina’s newsletter, or posting a sign in a laundry room — I’ve got some downloads to help with that, too (and feel free to contact me if you’d like to use an article from TBG):

• TBG Press Info

Finally, if you know of any other great free downloads (particularly if you’ve posted any of your own on your blog), leave a note in the comments and I’ll add them.
