Hi, have enjoyed reading your books. Was wondering what kind of bedding you use for circumnavigation taking in all the elements? Also, what kind of storage containers do you recommend for rice, flour, sugar etc…that last and keep things fresh? Thanks for the info…Jim
Hi Jim: There is no magic bullet on bedding, other than keeping the boat interior dry. Otherwise, we use the same type of sheets, blankets, and bed pads as at home. In the tropics you will want very light blankets.
As far as long-term storage, the best approach is to get a vacuum bagging machine. We use this for all sorts of food stuffs as well as spare parts. Regards – Steve
