Goodmorning, The sailing you've achieved and the imaginative work you, and your team, has put in to the design and activation of your vessel, shows what can be done when a little bit of positive thinking is pressed to the project. Thanks for your 'ocean view' sections of the Rover Videos, and ofcourse the food. Best, David

Staying ahead of chafing is an important part of the ship’s daily routine … especially so it would seem with a junk rig. Great to see the Mk lll doing its thing in light air. Having continuous weather routing must be a great comfort … methinks it will be a critical part of the success of your circumnavigation. Hold fast! ⛵️🇨🇦⚓️🌞

Great video again! Remembering your video regarding the Main power issue, I hope that you are going to pick up a Volt/Ohm meter at your next port. Whether you are in a boat or an RV that is probably one the most important tools to carry around with you, of course that is after duct tape and a band aid.

Questions: What horsepower is your outboard, and how did you settle on the brand and hp? Can you tell us more about how Wave Rover is making such good time, with her water line and sail configuration she is shorter, and has less sail area than many other larger boats, yet is making better time. I know she has a great Captain, and a brilliantly designed custom wind vane, but what else?

Hi Allan - not sure if the word is correct but the mast is not having any (as i can see from the vidoes) shroud's? (you know the side metal strings or wires holding the mast. How have you calculated the mast will stay unbroken or straight up during your trip? Enjoy and the coffee and a snaps is ready for you if you ever come to tiny Denmark. BR - Jesper Printz

Junk Rig Masts and generally unstayed, as in 99% of the time. Thomas Colvin designed junk rigs that were stayed because he wanted a foresail. Unnecessary in my opinion if you build your junk rig correctly. Allan is showing how a well put together junk rig is a very good long distance cruising rig.

Just curious. Was the omelet something you thought would be delicious from the start or was it more of a necessity keeping with the one meal diet that you got used to overtime? I also do the one meal a day, but believe I would have to work up to eating the omelet you’ve shown us.. just a matter personal taste differences.

Hi Alan, Have a good trip and thank you for your cooking recipe ! Sorry, but it sounds a bit boring to me, to eat every day the same stuff ! I am wondering why you don' t do any fishing, I always cought good fish on my 8 atlantic crossings, and I tell ya, fresh fish is much better, then what you get from these cans. Another thing, did you not carry any fruits and vegetables with you ? Like apples, oranges, cabbage, carrots, they keep for about three weeks, when you buy them fresh from the market. My mouth is watering ! Anyway, hope that you get to Horta soon, to get a decent meal ! 😉

Your seafood omelette is easy to make and hopefully very tasty but I wouldn't want it every day. You look fit but I think you have lost a few pounds. I think you could do with some carbs and fibre. Pasta travels well and is normally a seagoing staple. Adding pasta to a tin of soup makes an easy meal. Tinned mince, tinned tomatoes and an onion makes a good basic spag bol. Eggs and tinned tomatoes scrambled together would make a change from the fish. I'd be looking forward to a nice big Pizza in Horta or fish and chips, but you may well have already had those!

Bless you @delukxy, what a very nice comment offering thoughts and tips - however, Allan and I know better. We both know that fibre and vegetables, and definitely pasta, are not required in the human diet as has been proven by skeletal, bone marrow, and dentistry studies of ancient humans. Our natural diet is meat and fat, and i do hope you do some research in this area. You of course, can choose whatever diet you wish, and I absolutely back you to do what you think is best for yourself, despite me saying the total opposite. Cheers.
