2015 ARC on s/v Wanderer

Provisioning Best fruit performance in rank order: Fuji & Pink Lady Apples, Oranges, Lemons, Kiwis, Persimmons.
Favorite vegetable dishes - oven roasted cabbage & Imam Byaldi - roasted eggplant stuffed with tomatoes & onions & feta cheese (thanks Linda Morris Childress). Hanging citrus in a net in the cockpit did not work for us...it became very dried out, very quickly. Ratios that worked: 2 pieces of fruit per person, per day. 1/3 of a lb. of meat/chicken or fish per person per day. Equipment winners: Tefal non stick, nesting pots. Citrus reamer. Sacrificial cutting board for cutting rope/sheets etc. Frothing wand & espresso pot - let's face it, if you are going to race 24 hours a day for 13 days, you are going to need a latté. Designate one color microfiber cloths for floor clean ups to keep everyone from grabbing a cotton kitchen towels to mop up the floor. I say blue for the bottom -it seems to work. Did not lose one kitchen towel or tool to 'random reassignment' of galley stuff. |
TeamworkWe were a perfect team! Fantastic owner, David Walsh,...ready to learn & do everything he needed to become a confident and competent catamaran owner. Our regular crew member, Larry Roland, the most gregarious, congenial, helpful, relentlessly ready to pitch in, person you could hope to sail with. Jan Clusitra and Claudia Dengler, we love what we do and we hope it shows. We learned a lot about getting the best performance out of an Outremer and hope we have another chance to put our new skills to work. By nature & choice, we are not racing skippers but we sure had fun pushing ourselves and the boat to do our very best.
