This is our third Thanksgiving since we began living on the boat, but the first time that we cooked a Thanksgiving dinner on boat. It was, without a doubt, one of the BEST turkey dinners I can remember. Kudos to Joyce the chef!
Our first Thanksgiving on the boat we enjoyed a poolside turkey dinner at Twin Dolphin. The marina restaurant supplied the turkey, everyone brought a side-dish and it was a lot of fun.
We were in Marco last Thanksgiving as well (an unintended tradition?) and we went to Marek's, a nearby and very fancy restaurant. In fact we really didn't know how fancy it was when we made the reservation and only realized when people around the marina said " You are going to Marek's?" While the meal was good (and expensive), it was not great; but, the service was exceptional.
This year it was a Publix's turkey breast, cooked to perfection in our small, but capable oven. The turkey was incredibly moist and tasty. Complimented by mashed potatoes, dressing, and green peas and topped with perhaps Joyce's best gravy ever it was simply delicious!
I have always been a fan of our Princess stove, but she really outdid herself today. We had the oven and all three burners going at the peak of the cooking. Propane is a compact and versatile cooking fuel and you can do anything you can imagine - you just have to be creative on space at times.

We have pumpkin pie for dessert, but it will be a while before we are ready to eat another bite.
