What’s the Secret?
We’re always looking for quick, easy meals to make on the boat. We’re usually starving after taking SV Zeke E Boy out for a day sail so we pre-cooked bacon, and brought all of the ingredients onboard to make a delicious sandwich after a long day on the water. Easy picnic at the boat! We think that the Basil Mayo really makes this sandwich. Try it for yourself!
