A Galley Recipe: Sweet and Sour Apple Beets

Mr. and Mrs. Henry (center), owners of "Alvilda Mae", an Oceanis 41 offered to share a new favorite galley recipe this week. 

We can't wait to try it.

Sweet and Sour Apple Beets



Preheat oven to 375.
Grease a casserole dish..

Mix together and put into it:
   2 cups chopped cooked beets
   2 cups apples
   1/4 to 1/2 cup thinly sliced onions
   1 1/2 teaspoons salt
   A generous grating of nutmeg
 **Cook's note: If the apples are very tart, add: (1 tablespoon sugar) If they are bland: (2 tablespoons lemon juice)

Dot with 2 to 3 tablespoons butter
Cover and bake about one hour.

Cook's Note:

Sailing in the Charleston, SC area, enjoying the great crew at St Bart's Yachts, I've been experimenting with finding new recipes.  This was my first time to try this one.  I used it as a side dish with barbecued pork chops.  Of course I had to make some some changes, because I have  a very limited supply of spices on board, I had no nutmeg, and even though my apples were not tart I chose to add both sugar and juice from 1/4 of a lemon.  My husband and I thought it was a delicious dish. I'll definitely make this one again.
Enjoy!

Kite Camera

This gorgeous photo was sent in from one of our single handed cruisers leaving Charleston, SC and heading down to the Jacksonville area. The photo was taken with a Go Pro camera attached to a kite. Thanks for sharing Francisco, your Oceanis 41 makes a pretty picture.

Beneteau Launches new models!

Beneteau Oceanis 41
Beneteau Oceanis 45

Beneteau launched the Oceanis series in the 1980’s and last year the evolution of the range continued with the Oceanis 58 and 50. This fall Beneteau will introduce two new models, the Oceanis 45 and 41, which will both be built at Beneteau’s factory in Marion, SC.

The Oceanis 41 and 45 offer more space and comfort while preserving the great sailing characteristics of the range. Designed by naval architects Finot-Conq and Associates the boats have a sleek low profile cabin with long coachroof windows. Essential elements that characterize the Oceanis range such as a large cockpit securely enclosed by an athwartship helmsman’s bench, pure and stretched lines and good performance still exist. Major highlights of these new Oceanis include a luminous interior plus an ingenious full width, electrically operated transom enclosure that provides easy access to the sea. This new feature, which is normally only seen on Super Yachts, incorporates the aft bathing platform opening by remote control.
Multiple layout options are available for the salon and the Dock & Go joystick control maneuvering system is also offered as an available option on the 41 and 45.

Both the Oceanis 41 and 45 will be at the Annapolis Sailboat Show October 6-10, 2011. Stop by and see us!
