Lemons if stored correctly will last 10 months. My grand father would just toss them in a dark storage room in Greece and they lasted until the next harvest.

What exactly does “stored correctly” mean? I assume dry and cool?

  Cool and dark, he would just toss them in baskets in a dark space that didn’t even stay that cool. He might have picked them before they were ripe but I dont remember.

    The issue with recreating that environment on a wooden boat is that the sea is really, really wet. Sailing boats definitely had issues with spoiling citrus fruit, it’s part of why they switched to citrus syrup at one point.
