Hi Calder designs. I'm not a boat owner but to be frank I'm struggling with your post for two reasons. Firstly, you imply that self-catering on a boat is somehow wrong. Secondly, perhaps it's just your choice of words, but you seem to be saying we should support local businesses as if theyre some sort of charity case. As a business you have to earn the right to support by offering products the customer wants to buy at a price they're willing to pay - being a local business isn't enough by itself.
