I have found, to my great dismay, that in my favorite cruising grounds in the Sea of Cortez, even though spam is plentiful, it's difficulty to find a decent pickle in local mercados. I'm hoping before too long to spend a sabbatical down there, and wondering what to do by way of setting up my own pickle pin, one that will stand up to 25 degrees of heel, if need be.
The other problem is how to store a year's worth of Tangueray.
