A little tip I heard about was when boating , camping and storing food on long voyages don’t use card board boxes to store food in and take the labels of all your can goods, scrape any remaining glue and crap off the cans and write with a permanent marker on the top of the cans what they are. This will help keep your bug problems down. Especially with cockroaches. They love hiding in boxes and underneath the labels as babies. They eat the glue.

IT is incredible how you transmit your passion at sailing in your videos. Here a colombian that admires you, i would never be capable to do something Like this. IT is not only about physical strenght but also mental. Regards.

I lived on kwajalein in the early 2000's. Landed on that atoll a couple of times. It surprises me anytime I hear the Marshall islands. Not many people know about them. Impressive.

Thanks. Yeah I'm happy to put them in the spotlight. Some seriously troubling history there.

16:08 to answer the question, temperature has an effect on the speed of sound so daytime sound travels slower then at night because the day is hot and nights are cold. Edit: also Yokwe! Hope you enjoyed your stay. It ain't much but it's still HOME.
