Provisions

20 days X 6 crew plus a few for compass error, basically fill the larder, stuff the cupboards, cram the lockers & fingers crossed.

Just Joia has 3 x 150l water tanks, a water maker of 80l/hr which will be run every morning for an hour when the generator is charging the battery pack. We plan to always have 2 tanks full and isolated to prevent any contamination.

A visit to the local market and recommended whole salers, who deliver to the boat. All fresh produce checked and carefully stowed.

Last seminar of the week was how to use a sextant, with Chris Tibbs, just in case of a lightening strike and all navionics are lost. We had a practice and managed to establish that we are currently in central London. 🤔. The classroom continued with the Skipper detailing emergency procedures, very professional approach.

Friday night and our final visit ashore to bid farewell to our new friends, couple of beers, a sing song and firm hand shake -
