My friend Jordan and I were sitting down to dinner one night at Ken's Sushi in Nashville and somehow or other, it suddenly dawned on us that a floating food truck might just be the coolest thing to happen to food since, well, the food truck!

Now, I don't know about your city, but Nashville in recent years has seen a bit of a food truck explosion. There's even a site dedicated to the host of Nashville's mobile restaurants: www.nashfoodtrucks.com.
Every Sunday, a bunch of them can be found corralled together in one of our local parks. This makes me think that this idea of a movable feast is here to stay.

I come from a background of sailing, Jordan and I love food, and we both have a seemingly insatiable desire for exploring our Mother Earth, so what better way to do all three? A food boat! While at sea, we'd have plenty of time to work on new recipes suited to our destination and hopefully when we get there, we could source our ingredients all noice and fresh like.

There's not much to complain about sailing the high-seas and honing your culinary skills at the same time. We could care less about making a profit doing it (breaking even would be nice). The experience alone would be worth the trouble of insurance, menus, various port-of-call technicalities, and not to mention getting a boat up and running.
All this to say, If we were to ever tackle this idea, may it be slightly more elegant than the first photo of this post...
Yo ho!
