This month’s Show Me Your Galley blog post is a little different—it’s our special Show Me Your Festive Galley edition featuring the wonderful Behan Gifford from Sailing Totem. For over 10 years, Behan and her family have been sailing the world, gathering a wealth of experience and knowledge that they generously share with cruisers and aspiring cruisers alike.
In this special edition, we connected via Zoom from opposite sides of the world—Behan in the stunning Marshall Islands and me in the Canary Islands, with 12 hours separating us. Together, we explored the unique challenge of celebrating the festive season onboard. Food plays such an important role in these traditions, but sourcing those special ingredients while sailing can be a daunting task.
So, how do you keep the festive spirit alive when you're miles away from family, friends, and the familiar comforts of home? Behan shares her heartfelt insights and practical tips, offering inspiration for meaningful celebrations no matter where in the world you drop anchor.
This is also the very first video feature for Small Vegan Kitchen, and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you! I hope you enjoy this festive edition of Show Me Your Galley, and I’d love to hear your thoughts—do you want to see more content like this in the future?
