We could have used frozen water bottles just as well, we just didn't have room in our home freezer at the time.

In our old boat we had a small electric frige but not much of a freezer area even for ice cubes. When we are out in the boat we survive by purchasing bags of ice every two days at the marinas we visit. Yes, it was windy and rainy our whole cabin visit this time. But it was our first January trip since 2019 due to Covid border restrictions so any weather was fine with us. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.com
