ATLANTIC CROSSING PREP - Provisions are taking over the boat | EP 308

👍IN THIS EPISODE
How much can $1,000 of groceries in the Canary Islands buy? In our case, only about half the amount of food needed to cross the Atlantic. Our liveaboard family home, S/V Friendship, is a Broadblue 38 catamaran.

[@amberbecerra7435]

I absolutely love watching your family. Had a rough night with my two year old and this made morning waking up to a new video while making French toast and eggs 🥚 🍞

[@WorldTowning]

Thanks! Oh boy, Largo did not sleep through the night until 5 so I get it. Good Luck

[@canoemantoo1]

Wow, just the used-up empty cans and jars are going to take up valuable space. Until y'all have crossed the Atlantic ocean, then to empty your garbage. But it is all worth it, I'm so Jealous, I've watched all the other sailing shows, long before I found your van camping. But my favorite World Towning is when your family walked the Camino. But now, you've crossed an ocean. Can't wait to see your videos of it.

[@WorldTowning]

Thanks for watching. Yep, the cans did take up some room, but we had good storage spot and all worked out. Thank for watching the Camino, it is still so special to us.

[@gurugnorm]

5 years worth of food. Can’t wait for the follow up

[@WorldTowning]

No one goes hungry on my watch. Ha

[@glennedwards1449]

I remember when you first brought your boat and you were wondering if you could learn to sail her. Now here you are preparing to cross the pond.

[@WorldTowning]

Crazy, right??? I still can't believe it. Pinch me.

[@brendonrookes1151]

--------> pinches jess nah jk you have done an awsome job jess you should be proud

[@competitiverteam]

Canary island is one our most favorite places.

[@WorldTowning]

We loved our time there, such a great place with amazing people.

[@carolemmerson6151]

I notice a lot of other channels food prep a lot before leaving on a long trip, something to think on for your next trip. Also they eat a lot oF rice and pasta which is quick and easy to heat up the next day.

[@WorldTowning]

I did a bunch of food prep, coming in this weeks vlog. I would have loved to do more, but our fridge and freezer are quite small. We are definitely doing simpler meals next time.

[@paulkopp3634]

Sounds like you have goal fever !

[@WorldTowning]

We do, but usually only accomplish half each year. 2021 was so bad we accomplished zero, so I guess that means we need to do double in 2022. Ha.

[@SigisTravelVideos]

Have a safe sail, I will be watching you guys on Predictwind.

[@WorldTowning]

Yippie! We are leaving mid to late afternoon. Avalon is extra dramatic today, get ready for those updates on the link.

[@ysesq]

@@WorldTowning i thought you guys reached ? ais shows you in the Caribbean jan 26

[@SigisTravelVideos]

@@ysesq They are in the Caribbean, and just leaving Martinique for Curaçao.

[@matwilliams4608]

You guys love hiking , How about a four day hike up a mountain like on Sailing One Life called We hiked 4 days into the Colombian mountains EP46 . Stay safe guys .

[@WorldTowning]

Oh we definitely have more plans for hiking in the near future. Stay tuned.

[@hazellegate9624]

Positive Waves was generous enough to let everyone follow their passage and daily log. It was so interesting to watch them on the map! So……did you have any food left over after the crossing??? 😂 Over-provisioning is the way anxious newbies cope, I think. I did the same for our first full time RV trip from Canada to the southern States (“there won’t be any vegan food anywhere!” 😛)

[@WorldTowning]

We had food left over, not a ton and frankly we were really glad to have it as the grocery stores in Martinique were very bare compared to Europe. It could be nerves, but I think I have been like this my whole life, I am a foodies. Yep, definitely hard to find vegan for sure. We did stock up on that as well. We share our passage and daily updates on our Patreon page.

[@CalBru]

Left Fort de France hoping we might get a glimpse of you in the harbour as we went swimming - no such luck :) You had probably left long ago, but hope we'll catch you in the islands another time!!

[@WorldTowning]

Darn, we were only in F de F via bus to deal with some visa stuff. We were in Le Marin marina and then on anchor. We are much further south now.

[@CalBru]

@@WorldTowning How much further south? We're in Barbados now ;)

[@AA123TD]

I'm surprised at how stocked the shelves were. In the US the shelves are always empty.

[@WorldTowning]

Very stocked. It has been like this through the whole pandemic in multiple countries.

[@tonymacgrath7762]

Save crossing xx

[@WorldTowning]

Thanks.

[@brendonrookes1151]

good to see u guys again hey jess i may be moving into the city turns out the house im renting is being put on the market as my dad says when one door closes another opens

[@WorldTowning]

Exactly, good luck!

[@CuriousHumbleMarie]

Can't wait to see the adventure! How special for the grandparents to visit during Christmas. Curious why Avalon can't use the projector in her room...movie watching not allowed in her room? (No judgement...I just like learning about parenting.)

[@WorldTowning]

It was so nice to have them after not seeing them for years. We usually see them 3x a year. Great question, glad you asked. We have a "no tech" in the bedroom policy and we do movie night once a week as a family, although Will and I usually fall asleep. Of course, airplanes and crossing are unlimited movies. We have had this policy since they were little and it has really served all of us well.

[@dougintothesunset]

A pronunciation note about Appalachia . . . . . In Appalachia they will throw an APPLE ATCHA until you pronounce it correctly . . . Thanks for the videos.

[@WorldTowning]

Ha, good to know. Thanks!

[@TheBouyaOmar]

12:31 like Sahara .... Normal , you're only 330 kms from Morocco Sahara ...... Also the Canaries are sisters to the Atlas Mountains . On a map you can see they're aligned .....

[@WorldTowning]

We sure hope to get back to Morocco soon. We miss it so much.

[@JrR-fw5ph]

You guys make me smile 😊. BTW…Largos pants are too short….tell him to stop growing. 😉

[@WorldTowning]

Glad. Yes, he refused to retire those pants, well, all of his pants that are too small.

[@jetaime200]

I loved your video about your process to move to France. Do you know the amount required per person to quality for the long stay visa by any chance? Thank you!!

[@WorldTowning]

Thank you. Are you referring to the amount of money you need to make or have in a back account? That is the issue, they will release that information. Sorry.

[@bajaboolie]

What was that cool app where you pointed the camera at the label and it interpreted it into English? Thanks for the upload, btw. I'll be looking forward to living vicariously in the ladies trip to France soon...

[@WorldTowning]

Cool, right? Google Translate the camera feature. I love it. Maybe you can join us in the future.

[@Jayapullani]

Are there any limits as to additional weight (food etc) you can store on the boat? And would this affect sailing, speed etc....?

[@WorldTowning]

Yes, there is a water line and it should be taken seriously. It can slow you down and is not good for the boat.

[@Jayapullani]

@@WorldTowning Ah, thats interesting, but I guess you can watch as you load as to where the waterline marking is and choose food accordingly.

[@AA123TD]

Why do you take the labels off the cans when storing?

[@WorldTowning]

Great question. First, if it gets wet in the locker that it becomes a mess. Second, bugs! They like the glue.

[@zachb9011]

why do you pull the labels off the can goods before storage

[@WorldTowning]

If the locker gets wet it is a mess and bug eggs live in the glue on the labels. Yuck.

[@karlcx]

Did you take the labels off the tins? Why???

[@WorldTowning]

If they get wet it could be a mess, although most are not made of just paper anymore. Also, bugs like the glue and although we did not get all the glue off, most of it was gone. Great question.

[@iMacThere4iAm]

It'll be like in Resident Evil 3, shaking each can to listen to what's inside!

[@karlcx]

@@WorldTowning omg i would never have known. that's experience for you! i guess writing what's on it is just as good without the issues.

[@earll9586]

promosm

[@cindy-ml7vo]

90 recipes? Are you not repeating what you'll eat on the entire crossing?

[@WorldTowning]

Ha! Nope, this was a huge mistake that Will is on fire about. We will definitely talk more about this. We will also do bigger portions next time and eat several days of leftovers. The meals were too much work. Yep.

[@MrRules100]

Well I was very disappointed that you didn't post vlog's for so long but I thought I would see what happens when you complete the crossing. To see a video from Christmas and provisioning for the trip is unacceptable to me. Your videos have held my interest for a while but it seems that now you are only concerned about making money any way that you can. I will be unsubscribing and I suspect that others will join me. Sorry for the downer, wish you and your kids good luck.

[@WorldTowning]

Stuart I do hope you get to read this comment before unsubscribing. It is just Will and I producing the vlogs, editing, homeschooling, sailing. Preparing to cross an ocean only 1 year after learning how to sail, understanding provisioning, during Christmas, while my parents were visiting after not seeing them for 2 years, doing our part as counselor for Avalon's college applications and more was no joke. We have not taken more than a couple of hours off from working 7 days since before September. We did the best we could with our time constrains. For what it is worth our community likes to see the processes involved to get to the next step in the journey. Please, only concerned about making money...guess what, we are not getting rich in YT, not only are we not getting rich...it does not pay a fraction of our bills and we devote A LOT of hours to the channel out of love. To accuse us of doing it for the money is hurtful and frankly very untrue. If we are focused on making money any way we could (as you have stated). we would go back to our old lives which were much more lucrative. Hopefully this sheds some light on why we had a month without vlogs and why we are sharing provisioning, etc. It is all part of the journey.
