Circumnavigation.

>That's not on its own evidence that he did make the trip

Correct. Our boat had a beam of12.2 feet and the cupboards were an arms length long I cant find the beam of Maxus 22 but the beam of a Hurley 22 is 8.34 feet it giving smaller cupboards. It's not about the weight of provisions it is the weight of water which was given in a previous post as 10 lbs per day x 270 days is 2,700 lbs in imperial tons 10.05 Again I find the weight of a Maxus 22 but the weight of a Hurley 22 is 2,000kg or two imperial tons. The difference weight of water required and the of the boat is noteworthy about five times more. I doubt he had the power for a water maker.

When I was a lad 2,700lbs would have been about 1.25 tons.

I will ask about food and water arrangements on polish forum.

Food arrangements for second (non-stop) circumnavigation:
- 600 litres of water in 5 and 1.5 l containers
- 300 kg of food, mostly precooked meals

Both food and water were placed low in the bilges.
