What do you make of this? (sounds to me like reprovisioning is against the
rules)

"The object of the voyage is to leave the land and all support, sail for
1,000 days, non-stop at sea without receiving help, to live at sea, to be
healthy, to send back good messages and have the whole world follow the
voyage and understand the importance of it and then we'll be back sailing
back into New York City after 1,000 Days." - Capt. Reid Stowe

I thought this was interesting: Fifteen days out he knocked his bowsprit off
on a stray freighter.

He's a total clown. His typical speed is "drifting". Even in 15 knots
of wind the boat does 2 - 3 knots. He was cleaning the bottom of the
boat with a snow shovel. Who takes off on a 1000 day voyage with
really bad antifouling?

Reading his blog posting you get the sense he did way too much acid in
the 60's.
