Man stows provisions in catamaran's cramped galley storage
What this video covers
Nad and Djé, aboard their catamaran at Grand'Anse, begin provisioning and loading supplies for a planned passage to Kariakou, targeting a departure in late January or early February for a stay of roughly three to three-and-a-half months, plus transit time. The primary haul is 12 epoxy kits — bought in bulk because calculating exact quantities for the boatwork is impossible and running short mid-project is not an option; a chandlery at Kariakou can supply more if needed.▶ 1:05 Nad strips all cardboard packaging from canned goods before stowing them, a practice she explains prevents cockroach eggs — laid between the corrugated paper and the can — from hatching aboard; a previous infestation traced to leaving the boat unattended for three weeks at the careening dock reinforced the habit.▶ 8:48 Dry goods including rice, couscous, semolina, and pasta are transferred from cardboard into sealed, airtight containers.▶ 16:31 Nad maintains a written inventory log of every locker, started in January 2024, and updates it as each compartment is loaded.▶ 6:21 The dinghy ran out of fuel during the unloading run in the rain, delaying the operation.▶ 1:41 This is the first of multiple provisioning runs; a second is planned before departure.▶ 7:12
