To make sure you’re ready for this summer’s galley adventures be sure to download the GLCC Cookbook before you shove off. Our cookbook is packed with over 80 tried and true GLCC member’s cruising recipes. Why bother getting dressed up for a restaurant dinner when you can have fun whipping up something great to eat and never leave your boat.
