Voyage to Rekohu Chatham Island (part 1)



I’ve wanted to sail to Chatham Island for years. Why? just because it’s there. Finally the stars have aligned and the boat is ready enough, lets go!

  2. Nothing compares to an Adventure by design. Up and go when it feels right! Thanks for the Part 1… I'll be looking forward to Part 2. I'm about to launch a small plywood cat I've been rebuilding and am considering a 3 week trip in sheltered waters. Always nice to see how you endure the slower times and prepare for the immanent action later.

  3. Never heard about the apples touching thing. I'm gonna have to test that now. In Denmark we always keep them outside, up against an inhabited brick house, in the shade, in wooden crates where every other wooden board is missing to allow air through and then with metal netting around and raised off the ground to prevent rodents from entering. The open-to-the-air crates are to allow the gas to escape and the location and climate keeps them above freezing (hopefully) but still fairly cold. They last for months like this even though they are all touching. I'd assume that letting the gas escape rather than build up in an enclosed space would be more important than whether they're touching but the next time I buy apples I'll keep them at room temperature in two locations with half of them touching and half of them not. I suppose I should try this in an enclosed and unenclosed space as well.
