JOURNEY

Daily life requires more than poetry!

Food provisions for 21 days

Planning a non-stop journey at the highest latitudes is not just a matter of choosing the best/safest route or calculating a higher fuel consumption due to increased generator runtime and heating necessities, it implies also a thorough calculation of food provisions and water supply to match the necessity of a small community.

"With an explorer yacht like Maverick you gain range, storage capacity, fuel redundancy, watermaking reliability, and better environmental controls."

That means you can carry more variety, fresher produce, more fuel, more backup systems.

Below is a provisioning plan optimized for a 3-week nonstop high-latitude passage, considering that on Maverick most systems and storages have been designed for long range navigation (large water-makers, cold-store rooms, dry/freezer rooms).

Food x person x 3 weeks (accounting for higher energy use and comfortable meals standard):

Fresh: 12–15 kg
Dry (such as rise, pasta, flour): 8–12 kg
Frozen meat: 6–10 kg
Frozen fish: 3-5 kg
Eggs: 30-60
Olive oil: 1-2 litres
Butter: 1-2 kg
Salt: 250g
Sugar: 1.2-1.5 kg
Beans/lentils: 1-2 kg
Canned: 5–7 kg
Snacks: 3–5 kg
Chocolate: 0.500-1 kg

Water (drinking+cooking+hygiene): average of 25 litres x person x day (maintaining one watermaker capable of replacing entire daily consumption alone).

You should also calculate emergency reserves of food for at least a week.
