Yeah, I'm thinking like you could NOT resupply, say a exercise or a calamity or something. The thread you started moonshadow about the global recesion started me thinking about this.
I have yet to travel long distance, and in reality am a babe in the woods compared to many on these forums when it comes to actually doing this stuff, but have thought long and painfully on many topics relating to cruising.
I remember reading Tom Neal on Cruising world on his gulfstar 50 and saying that they tried to keep 1 year supply of food on board. Now I know the gulfstar 50 a bit, and having been on a few, know that there is a ton of room on board, but wonder if something like this is possible on boats like most of us own, 5 to 42 foot or more or less.
I know that amazon.com has a very large assortment of foods now availabe that do not need refrigeration, including milk, meat, eggs, cheese, ect.
6 months would be my minimum I think. I figured I could convert one of my heads for storage if need be... better vacuume pack them good though.. can't have them tasting like a toilet though... lol
Just a thought.
When our boat is ready, and it will be by summer, I think I will store 3 months supply of food and full diesel tanks just in case.
