Then you should have an incredible crossing with the earlier trips preparing you well. The keys are having replacement
parts and
repair equipment. Assume every part of your sailing
equipment breaks and how you would deal with each. Also,
food and especially
water. Then your
medical kit and knowledge of first aid and first
medical officer care. Be prepared for one or two of the crew to get sick as well.
Then you're ready to enjoy.
