Great recap. Thank you.

You can go 7 days without food. Load up some cans tuna and bags of chips and you're good to go. Water on the other hand is a must have. Keep a tub of weight gain protein powder for an emergency.

Excellent info. Congratulations on your passage! Of course you can't possibly cover everything in a video like this, but curious about your watch plan, galley duties, and rules about when the captain must be woken. Thanks for sharing.

must have been something wrong with your gas mate. last ARC we did with 4 people we used less than one bottle, and the previous crossing we used even less with 2 blokes

Love the details for the passage planning. Very useful! Thanks for sharing. Stay safe, together and enjoying the adventures. For the use of provisions, do you prepare a daily menu and stick to it or get creative along the day?

Nick Caffrey - 5 years ago

Fantastic tips! Did you catch a lot of fish to help offset the food cost?

Robert Crain - 5 years ago

food is more than calories in and out. It is spice of life and on a long trip good variety of and good quality food can make life much better on a long passage on just daily.

Enjoyed that much! For someone like me who is set on, but doesn`t yet have a boat, that was all great information. I had already compiled my` must do must have must get` list but you highlighted a few important things for me there, now on the list, and my thanks to you!

Geoff Sims - 5 years ago

A great video! A wealth of very good information about planning for worst case scenarios and contingencies. Just goes to show, you're not both just pretty faces, but very clued up as well. Congrats on a great crossing!
