Our only hard and fast rule is no drinking before or during overnight trips. And the first mate ( that’d be me) gets a beer after raising and setting sails. 🙂

We don’t drink, so that’s an easy one. I make concentrated simple syrups such as ginger and other flavors to add to sparkling water made with our soda siphon. Iced tea and Arnold Palmers are a staple.

No drinking until we are at our final destination for the night. Mild consumption thereafter if we drop the hook.

When the hook is down! One exception was when we were heading south past the normally blustery Cape Mendocino in California with the spinnaker up in the middle of the day. 10knot breeze and sunny. We all four had one beverage to celebrate. We’d been out for three full 24hour days at that point.
