We have stayed on the boat now a couple of times and have come to find out quickly what we like and don't like about a few things, though I am sure there are more to follow. I am a camper. I feel that I can eat off of pretty much anything. I can eat off of paper plates and Mark has been known to eat dinner with his family and old girlfriend off of flat rocks found on Wild Horse Island when they realized that they had forgotten the dinnerware. But when it comes to clean up, what you chose so cheaply may become apparent.
I bought some plastic style patio plates at Wal Mart that were so super cheap. Everyone kept screaming "no glass" so I thought this is perfect.. We wash them and the plates have grease clinging to them. It is so gross. And then you hope to wipe it all off when drying them. That's it! They are gone!
Also, I am not going to drink anymore wine from a plastic cup. I visited a friends boat recently and was served some wine. I loved her glasses. Practical but still felt nice drinking wine out of them. They were an acrylic stemless wine glass. Google that and you will have choices. Put the word "sets" after it and you will get more bang for your buck.
We need to stock up on a few more items. A few knives, storage bins, plastic egg crate, and a plastic butter dish that can go into the cooler. I don't like broken eggs and soggy butter. I found a lot of these items at Bed, Bath and Beyond but I am a shopper and will see if I can find them cheaper somewhere. I will keep you posted on what I find.
Until then, happy sailing!!
