2011 02 15 Food Inventory by Angela

2011 02 15  Food Inventory by Angela

Via Sat Phone to Deb

Angela inventoried the food on board Big Blue.  They have about 2 weeks left to go.  She says they have plenty of breakfast for the remainder of the trip, 225 main meals, about 50 packets of chicken, tuna and salmon, and 93 deserts.  Everyone has snack packs ranging from 13 to 21 per person left.  She assures me they have plenty of food.  They are eating a breakfast, a main meal and a snack pack a day until the end of the trip.

Families are working on travel arrangements to Barbados.  Excitement is in the air as the journey’s end is in sight!

Brother Report: Aleksa says they must be rowing towards the Bering Sea because of how cold it is. Also, they discovered a mystery poop in the middle of the cabin. Furthermore, it seems Ryan has snapped and is walking around in a loincloth, and the crew calls him 'Baloo'. Deb, I think the mystery poop part can be excluded from the blog.

Debra Bogan Moeller That's the best part! Especially since the toilet is no where close to the cabin. Interesting....

telephone call from Sylvain 2 days ago (thanks Angela aka MacGyver for creating an external charger for the sat phone!)...some rowers dealing with injuries (to be expected after such arduous conditions and SO much rowing), waves still gigantic, flooding the hatches and waterlogging some of the...

2011 01 13 Quick Angela Update from my phone

Angela told me the waves are amazing.  The waves are 5-6 meters (~15-18 feet).  They are surfing the waves with the boat and not rowing. They are getting boat speeds of 13-15 knots. They had the first wave go over the top of the boat.

Nigel is the current leader of the "person on the potty when the boat speed was the greatest". She said the boat was going 17 while he was on the potty. Take that man to a mechanical bull contest with a big purse.

All for now! Deb
