Here's my latest set of ideas: How long will the San Diego -> Henderson island route take as I am worried about food storage on the boats. |

How long will the San Diego -> Henderson island route take as I am worried about food storage on the boats. Nearly 4 weeks at 6 knots... |

How long will the San Diego -> Henderson island route take as I am worried about food storage on the boats. Nearly 4 weeks at 6 knots... Group size for first trip may be 6 people so how much would rations for 6 people for 4 weeks be? Plus the food for the first month or so on the island. I've had an idea, fishing on the boat. Set up maybe 4 lines on the back and eat what we catch. We should take salt to dry out fish we catch. If we catch more than we need we can store it for an unlucky day. Is there a posibility of the boat being faster? |

Is there a posibility of the boat being faster? I've had an idea to temporarily reduce the crew size while getting the same amount of people onto the island, I'm going to post about it in another thread. Did some research, for about 5 people we'd need a boat around 35ft in length, which is restricted to no more than 8 knots.  |

It's worth noting that the first boat will have to carry a lot of things, the photovoltaic cells and batteries come to mind. Realistically will this limit speed, crew size? |

Realistically will this limit speed, crew size? About 18 days... but remember 8 knots is MAX, we'll probably be going around 7 and a half realistically. So make that three weeks. Write San Diego off the list, I've figured a better idea that I'll post in another thread once I finish the graphics for. I spoke to an experienced sailor here, it'll answer most of your questions: thepolony1.boards.net/thread/31/own-boat |

Meanwhile ill do some research into our little island. |

you need a bigger boat , and you neead a smaller boat that will take u from the biiger boat to the island , because sailng right toward the island for the first time without knowing where u can drop anker is a great way to explore the botom of the reaf .

I've already added an inflatable boat to my equipment list. |

I've already added an inflatable boat to my equipment list. do you think a inflatable boat can carry all that stuff ? and thats the easy part with a sailing boat like this u will nead to make couple of trips to bring all the stuf u need . my szgestion is to buy a larger fisshing boat . it has enaugh room for stuf and it will be useful later on for fishing logicli , well but i have newer bean in the pacific so i dont know how strong the currents are or wind or wawes and how the boat will behave in this conditions , and will a simple fisshing boat be able to make the trip ... |

We can easily go back and fourth between the boat and the shore with an inflatable. Fishing boat sounds more like it, speak to will (http://thepolony1.boards.net/user/53), he knows more about sailing than any of us. |

Guys, is any of the islands actually fit for long term habitation? Anywhere near Antarctica is too cold, any tiny island in the middle of the ocean will either have rainfall issues, soil issues, or other problems. Think of how much hardship the initial American colonizers faced. You can't just go there and be happy. Even with modern technology, we can assume that any island that humans can live on is already inhabited, so no new islands for us. I think a sort of large raft that can sail around to catch rain, better weather, and trade easily with other countries is a much more viable idea.
