Milk In The Galley

Before leaving Conwy, Tramontana began to fill up with nappies, wipes, creams, high chair, baby bath and cot. The plan was for Helen and baby Frida to next join the ship in Fort William, for a few weeks. For reasons of hygiene and convenience, ready made baby milk in bottles seemed the easiest way of coping with having a six month old baby on board. At six bottles a day, this is two weeks and one day worth. Would it all be churned into butter on the voyage North ?
