"Paul Cassel" wrote There is nothing in his plan preventing him from being re-provisioned by dink from a supplier ashore. What do you make of this? (sounds to me like reprovisioning is against the rules) http://1000days.net/home/images/stor...inglepages.pdf "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. http://1000days.net/home/index.php?o...17&Item id=70 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. Evan Gatehouse |
