Tropic 4 Cancer Trans Atlantic challenge is an expedition to sail single-handed 4000 miles across the Atlantic, from the western seaboard of Africa to Antigua. The route follows a defined course along the Tropic of Cancer, which is a circle of latitude running around the Earth at approximately 23 degrees north, and which marks the most northerly position at which the sun may appear directly overhead.

Preparations & packing!

Fresh water supplies

As the date for moving down to Gibraltar for the final build up draws ever closer, we’ve been busy packing all the essential supplies to support Richard on the 4000 mile voyage.

We picked up the 120 litres of drinking water from Will and the team at The Southdowns Natural Mineral Water Company.

Expedition food, the First Aid Kit, a Satellite Phone and a few other pieces expedition kit came from Mark & Callum at Equip-me.

Food

We also received the award winning Haskapa juice and dried haskap berries from our title sponsor.

There are now just a few jobs left to complete before the yacht Haskapa gets lifted out at Salterns Marina in Poole, and is loaded on to a lorry for the journey south to Gibraltar.
