Network crash ate my comment! :P

Turkey is pretty easy to cook. Just remember to remove the bag o' stuff from inside the turkey before cooking it. (Voice of experience.)

Deep-frying makes for good turkey for the amount of work, but be sure to follow all the instructions, do it away from anything flammable, have a large fire extenguisher on hand, and keep a couple people sober.

Where are you going sailling? Should be a lot of fun! I hope you enjoy it.

A lot of cooking shows recommend brining the turkey (soaking it in salt water) as it makes for better flavor.

I wouldn't be able to deep-fry it anyway - I don't anything I could put the oil in.

I have no idea where my sister's boat is - I figure I'll be finding out on Sunday

I've heard of the brine trick before. I might look into that.
