Been there, done that however I have not spent an
extended time on mega yachts for any one owner like he did...and the sailing part, ie heeled over, and finding storage space...well, I would so LOVE to work on a motor vessel for ever more...but that life is over pretty much now.....sadly.
For me the thrill of shopping and cooking 'a la the area' I am in with the fresh foods available is the best part of the job....I LOVED Brazil/South America as there was so much there to learn and use in my meals. I have been up and down the African coasts, all over the Caribbean but not done any extensive cooking/sailing in the Med.....how wonderful it all must be.
(My son-in-law is in and around Croatia at the mo, he has had the summer in the Med...he is a cpn not a chef but his chef does utilise what is in the markets at each ancorage. I am so jealous...green, green I'm not a queen!!)
