Provisioning Again? How Much Water Do We Use a Day? | Alabama to Florida | ep 240
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- As a family of five on a sailboat, we go through a lot of food, water, and fuel each day. It seems like we are going to shore several times a week for more provisions. This week we are in Orange Bay, Alabama, just around the corner from Pensacola Florida and we are able to anchor in Wolf Bay and get everything we need for our planned trip offshore.

Kudos to John for helping the family. 👍👍👍👍
You will NEVER be ready. There is always be something.
Great fun getting to know you all. Such fun, down to earth people. Bahamas destination, you've got this!
I love the family dynamic here. God bless you wonderful people
Thanks so much
Ok..work has been crazy.. so I'm playing catch up. I'm guessing Todd is a Jack of the trades, and now... whisper of Dolphins?? Great video!!
cannot wait to see clips of an actual crossing. that will be amazing to see you all doing the real deal .
Get a vacum sealer. Good for food and clothes. Pays for itself. Good for packing away out of season clothes too. Humidifier? Also a good investment
So nice to see you folks having fun on the beach. 😎❤️😎❤️😎
Great episode! Stay safe Spoondrifter crew! Keep rolling along! 👍👍
Todd the dolphine whisperer🤣
When you are in exotic location the only one that will know your boat inside out is you and both of you and your kids need those lifeskills.
It will be fine, try not to let worry and apprehension about what could go wrong spoil the adventure. Enjoy yourselves, god bless you all xxx
Glad to see you enjoy the white sand beach. Good luck with crossing its your dream come true.
Great show, we took all carboard and paper products of our boat, no roaches, no bugs since…
Sonce no bug, no spiders either…
Great
Good to hear. 😍
Every boat has problems new and old. Stay safe out there glad you guys are safe where you are. That is a good idea putting them in ziplock bags. How was the water I know you said that it was kinda chili but was the water chili to. In the summertime the water is warm like a bath water. Have fun you guys.
My water consumption is about 5 gallons per day that does include my daily shower but I’d say at 13 per day for the five of you that’s amazing conservation
Todd's a water nazi! LOL
Omgoodness!!! When we first moved on to our boat, our then 3 yo Randal dumped boxes of noodles everywhere🤦🏻♀️ I felt like I was going to find noodles for years! The plan was to measure the noodles and keep them in air tight containers… that didn’t happen😂
LOL! I bet!
Has Spoon and you guys been out in a F6 yet? Good practice to get the boat overpowered and then reef down. Good luck guys ❤
We do our best to reef before she’s overpowered. 😍
Tammy, maybe you could cut the directions off of 1 package and just put it in the bag with everything?
Howdy Todd & Tammy! Loving your adventures, and boy oh boy, Katy looked so good! Just a suggestion for repackaging food, just take a quick picture of the instructions/recipes then you have near instant access without writing them down each time. Looking forward to seeing y'all arrive in Tampa. Cheers! Robert
Hey Robert! She sure did. I’ll send you the extra footage of you anchoring single handed. 😍 That’s a great idea generally but I take so much footage with my phone it’s tough to manage extra photos and the kids, who do a lot of cooking wouldn’t have as easy access. 👍
So glad I caught up with you.
Yes!! 😍
Great episode, I can’t wait till next week to see how the crossing went. You guys should all be proud of you work and preparation to get here. Please try to relax more and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Yours is my favorite RUclips channel of all that I follow. You’ve really inspired me that once the lakes thaw around here to take a break from work and get out on the water more
Thanks for watching! 😍 As I get more familiar with the lifestyle the stress level is lowering. It’s also getting warmer as we head south which makes it nicer to get out and play.
Great video!
Also, the cardboard boxes will draw roaches. I do the same thing, but I cut out the directions and put the cut out inside the zip lock baggies.
Good tip!
From Orange beach east is the Big Lagoon,then in the east if there is Pensacola Pass.You have to go out there because about 35 east is a 50 foot bridge.You should have left in the north wind to go to Tampa,been a down wind sail.Kool to see you so close to where I live and I’ve spend many nights and days where you were around Barbours Marina and that area.Hope your trip south goes well and safe.
Yeah, too much wind for us newbies. Others left during that storm and limped into Destin with broken rigging.
Learning from the bottom up way to go guys❤🎉 see you next week get a water maker
It's now time for less boat work and more boating adventures. I am happy for you to be able, finally, to enjoy the fruit of your hard work. cheers
Lemon balm is reported to take away migraines. Lemon balm tea would be good to drink when you feel stressed or anxious. 🍋 💞
As a tea? I’ll have to try it.
If anything's gunna happen, it'll happen out there!!
Good luck with the crossing
I put the front and back of the box in the bag so I know exactly what it is and have the directions and i use silicone bags because they're very reusable
The first time you pick up a can and a critter or worse slidesfrom under the paper label you'll get your sharpie out n throw the label away.
We (me and my wife) use about 20 litres a day for all use, washing and drinking.
When at anchor, but at mariners we go stupid 😅
Good luck with the overnight events ❤😊
I should have said
My wife and I.
Do you ever feel like your parents at times? And correct yourself
That’s great!
Pirates cove has some good burgers
Does your shackle have an emergency release? If you go overboard and need to break free you need that release or your dead anyway if no one knows you went over.
12 gal a day is impressive. I live off grid and use a hose (property has city water) and the best I can do is about 7 gal for one person. no showers included. what filters do you use? are you thinking about a water maker?
Yeah, I really think we need one. As it gets warmer and we start playing in the water we’re going to need to drink more and shower more often.
Good Morning from Detroit - I have a question. Does your generator run on Diesel? For some reason I assumed you had a Honda suitcase generator.
Our big one does. 5KW Koehler. But we have a suitcase generator as well.
Do ya'll not have a water maker yet😮
Not yet… working on it. 👍
Would a small dehumidifier work? Or would the power drain be impressive?
When we were at a marina we used a dehumidifier and it worked great. Todd’s been reading about using small computer fans to keep the air flowing in the cupboards.
For a family wouldn't a water maker be justified. That would save running for water and space.
Even a new boat would have problems , you could have spent 200k on a sailboat and still discovered you needed to do another 40k in repairs and updates. The difference is on this boat you bought a cheap boat and traded your time and labor for money and knowledge and confidence in your boat.
Absolutely right!
