Today we’ve been packing up all the breakfasts,
which are homemade,
because there are some freeze-dried breakfasts
that we buy in and some,
what you might call five star breakfasts!
It consists of homemade muesli with powdered milk
and chocolate chips,
hazelnuts, almonds and such like.
We’ve packed up all beverages and
the hot drinks and the things that go with that:
powdered chocolate,
coffee, sugar, powdered milk.
We’ve packed up all the chocolate bars as well!
The aim is to give out one per person,
otherwise it’s pistols at dawn(!),
and to mix up the flavours.
We’ve packed up all the soup,
all the Chinese soup, all the pasta,
all the ‘trail mix’ as we call it.
It’s a mix of walnuts, dried fruit…
energy foods, full of energy!
C'est comme au supermarché ! Vous attendez avec vos sacs ...
Bien que ce soit fragile,
il faut s’assurer que l'emballage soit bien serré
parce que si c'est serré, ça ne se cassera pas !
C’est compact!
Si c'est lâche et que ce n'est pas aussi compact que ca,
ça sera réduit en bouillie !
It’s the last big preparation:
a transatlantic crossing.
After that it’s Lisbon to Lorient,
which will be simple too.
Right now we’re preparing the food bags
according to each estimated day of sailing.
Added to that, we’re lucky enough
to have Phil here, who’s one of the sailors,
and will be doing the next leg.
He’s watching what we put in the bags!
Le yaourt aux fruits des bois est très bon.
Tout le monde l’aime !
They are going to be setting off with some warm temperatures
and then they’ll head a little North
so we’re reckoning on a maximum of 48 hours of cool conditions,
though it won’t be as cold as Cape Horn!
We have planned 6 heavy meals,
given that there are 3 main meals a day at breakfast time,
lunchtime and night time.
All the meals are packed individually
so if someone is hungry or
if someone doesn’t like what’s on offer.
We’ve discussed an example of up to 8 kilos of weight loss though
we also have people who put on weight.
The two names will remain a secret.
Those people know who they are – the two extremes!
Each to their own in terms of their off-time –
everyone should eat what they like!
