Theres some great places on the cut, and you landlubbers seem to find them easy enough. At the antisocial area in the boatyard my cooking skills are usually called upon, never yet had a burnt burger or sausage, its a question of detail & not getting distracted by whats going on around you. ive been known to do 3 different curries, plus rice & and a pud for 14+ people on the stove - gotta cater for the veggies out there
