Essential Things for this Passage

So to get the most of the crewing of the Rapier 400 a few items extra to dental floss and Gaviscon and other sailong essentials have been aquired.

My sail bag now has stuffed inside;

1. SELFIE STICK and Samsung Note 3 with photo and video software. Essential for the sunrise photo when alone on watch to look fantastic with a little bit of editing.

2.  Four Charts of this passage. Important to know where your start, where you are going, what's along the way where are you now, no really all essential get it wrong and the next stop could be USA. The boat will have its own but when Jane and I return it would be nice to have a passage and pilotage of our own.


3. Go Pro knock off with 3 batteries and 74gb storage for the Dolphins, Whales, Big Weather and sailing really really fast. Big winds promised from Ibiza to Cape of Vincent (Portugal)


4. Kindle to catch up on reading cruising is great but when a tack could last 2 hours and your not at the helm for 6 hours what else is there to do? Suggestion via blog comments please.

5. A blog. Something to do at airports that have the stores boarded up. Something to challenge a Dyslexic to beat predictI've text and spellerr checkers. Something to read in dotetage about the days when the body worked and the world seemed safer after all what's a Force 9 Gale.
