Easy One-Dish Meals for Boat Trips

Food is always an important part of packing for a boat trip, whether you will be gone for a day or a month. A good piece of advice to consider from our Boat Cooking Tips article is that one-pot meals work well when you are at sea. Whether you head out on a day trip or are out for a week, there are a number of easy recipes that can be prepped at home and simply assembled when you are ready for them at sea. Here are a few recipes that, whether you are on a fishing boat or a yacht, will ensure that your crew gets a tasty, nourishing meal without a lot of prep or cleanup time.

"Sea lions grab the back of a boat for impromptu ride along"

Sea Lions grab the back of boat!

Who knew sea lions liked people?
One family got a serious treat when two  sea lions grabbed hold of the stern on their boat and rode along for a ride. With one toddler on board and a baby sea lion in the water, this video is a recipe for cuteness overload.

SOUTHPORT

"America's Happiest Seaside Town" by Coastal Living magazine, Southport is steeped in history and picturesque beauty.  Southport has a charm that has not only attracted visitors, but the eye of the movie industry as well. Films such as "Safe Haven", "A Walk to Remember" and "The Secret Lives of Bees" all feature scenes shot in Southport. Fronting the Cape Fear River and the notorious Frying Pan Shoals, Southport has long been a port of haven for sea captains as far back as the 1700's. Stroll the docks and have a crab-cake sandwich and steamed shrimp at one of several restaurants featuring outdoor dining on the waterfront. Take a piece of culture or history home from a gallery or antiques shop, or try golfing, sailing or skydiving in the area. Whether you simply soak in the Old-South atmosphere or visit the sites, Southport is a vacation to discover the old and enjoy it anew.
