Buy Annie Hall's "Voyaging on a Small Income". Or get the Pardee's
book on provisioning.

Or since I've summarized the book in another thread sometime back, you
could google it and find it.

One thing you find is that lots of people over-provision. Remember, pretty
much anywhere you go there will be people, and they eat too. Carry lots of
dried things like pasta, beans, rice etc. Canned meats, vegetables, etc.
Ultra pasturized milk like Parmalat can last 6 months, and dried milk pretty
much forever. Flat breads like tortillas, pita, etc. will last a long time
if unopened and take up a lot less space than regular bread. Dehydrated and
MRE's last forever, but are expensive. Here are some links:

Canned meat. Dried beans, rice, oxo cubes and pickled hot
peppers. Rain catcher sewn into sail foot or hung under boom.
Solar still. Manual reverse osmosis pump. Fish hooks, lines and
a net. Stretch cooking water with seawater.

Towed pantyhose fills up with edible krill, if there is much
about.

A practical sailor also catches sea birds using lassos or baited
hooks when becalmed.

Don't forget the reuseable toilet paper.

I believe it's called a washcloth.
