unconventionally, as i already have done many times the regular normal kind... this time we head into town for a buncha pizza--3 large or extra large, we have canned tuna and we have fresh veggies for travelling, and fruits. a friend is baking some banana bread, and we will be fishing. i have enough rice on board to feed a revolution, and we are gonna head south on a 400 mile passage--should be a week or thereabouts, but we may stop along the way for helluvit or beer.....more pizza?? we see--depends on the catch of the day....could be 2 weeks..
..three and half to four years of doing it right--is time for a lil fun....
also carrying 4 of the 5 gallon water jugs, 160 gal tankage, 100 gal fuel, and food food food..lol--aint gonna die, but for this passage, is simple pizza and stuff run south---wish i had root beer and some really good vanilla ice cream----

will be showing my spot tracker on my website...

no zatarains in mexico... pizza we have not had for over a year--is PIZZA TIME!!!!!!!!!!
i wont buy papayas--peaches are green when picked and last 2 days, papayas fall on heads, so are free, and cocos are too hard to open, mangos are out of season, and guayabas are still found, but are too soft----bananas are plentiful, but spidey lives there.......

i only catch fish reliably when i have enough cans of tuna to offset the damages when i do not catch --- when i am out more than 20 miles i catch fish.
also rationale behind 3 xl pizzas..one with 'chovies......you see--if you have plenty to eat and fish as well, usually is caught a fishie.
