The food we will carry on board the boat will be dehydrated expedition food and other treats like high energy sweets and dried fruit. Enough food to sustain us for 90 days will be kept in hatches in the deck of the boat. A days food for the both of us costs around £25.00 So if donating money under our other sponsorship options doesn’t suit you then you could opt for buying us a meal for a day, in return your name will listed on the boat and on our website, so steak and chips please!
On an average days rowing we will need to take in roughly 6,000 – 8,000 calories in order to allow our bodies to function properly.
The foods will be supplied through Expedition Foods based in Yorkshire. Expedition Foods have been supplying Expedition food for Ocean Rowing races for the past 9 years and have a huge selection of freeze dried foods available. There website is www.expeditionfoods.com

- Breakfast – Hot Cereal with mango
- Mid morning snack – Dried fruit or energy bar
- Lunch – Chicken Korma
- Snack – Go Bar Chewy Banana
- Evening meal – Chicken Tikka
- Snack – Go Gel Energy Gel
