- EP 153: Provisioning for our Atlantic Crossing
The time has come to get provisioning. Although we will be making a stop in Namibia before we do the atlantic crossing. Grocery prices are cheaper in South Africa so we opted to do it here. We will replenish our stocks once again in Namibia but the bulk stuff has been completed. It was definitely a new experience for us buying so much groceries at once. We bought most of the stuff we eat on a regular bases. Now the groceries are done we can finish up the last bit of check work on Lady Africa & off we go to NAMIBIA!
See ya next week!! Thanks for watching, don't forget to subscribe below if you haven't already & give us a big thumbs up as well as share this with all your friends & family!

Watching your video as we prepare to depart Namibia for the big jump! Snacks..yes...
I can’t believe you are this close to your dream. Safe travels.
Thanks George.. ☺
Awesome! Congratulations! You guys are finally on your way, living the dream. Well done. There's no better kind of reward than this, after all your hard work and sacrifice. Wishing you smooth sailing and may the wind be always at your back.
Thanks so much Basil. Miss and love you guys ♥
Another great video. Could you make a short video to explain the process of registering Lady Africa in the USA? Would be great to know, as it might be an option for some of us, too. Thanks, all. Have a safe trip and enjoy Namibia.
This is SO EXCITING !
First time I'm on board of a saling channel BEFORE the crossing.
Feels great. Thank you guys!
Thanks Jon. ☺

Congratulations you guys
Thanks ☺
So glad to see you finally moving out!! Yay!
Thanks Lisa 🤗
Dream becoming reality! You certainly won't starve. Safe sailing!! 💕💕🎄🎅🎄
Thank you ☺
Hiya.. just a tip I've learnt about provisioning pasta, rice etc.
Buy ziplock bags and alcohol (70%) & cotton wool. Put your dry food in bag, wet the ball with alcohol, put in bag, leave for an hour. Then remove the ball. The alcohol kills all the "live" eggs in the actual pasta/rice.
What a Lovely Vidclip .... Great to see ( and Sea ) that All your hard work and effort has paid off. Fair Winds and God Speed, sail well. Very best to You Guys, Have a great Festive Season. Looking forward to the Next Chapter in your lives .... Mooi Bly, BAIE Groete uit New Zealand
Thank you Keith! Keep well and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family as well! 😊
God speed and merry Christmas
Thank you. To you too!
Did you make a itemised storage map and a legend of what the can abbreviations mean?
How are the cans secured from sliding when the provisions get low?
Cheers and stay safe
Eric
I have a good question i think.
I see there is a LOT of plastic and cans and all that, but where does all the trash go to?
Good move with the USA Rego, you can still fly your SA flag as the crew onboard courtesy flag. Enjoy your travels, regards Steve.
Thank you Steve ☺
That sure looks like a lot of food now, but I’m sure it’ll disappear quick enough. I near had a fit when you were discussing provisioning costs...then I realized you were talking Rands. Phew😳. That would have been killer if that were dollars. So happy for you that you’re heading out. Merry Christmas.
Haha that would be a killer for us too if it were dollars 😂 thank you and Merry Christmas 🤗
Good luck and Merry Christmas!
Thank you and likewise 🤗
That was some good prices you got there. Safe journey and fair winds to you
Thank you Chris ☺
Hi there Simone and Ricky!!!! Been following you guys since you renovated the Boat!!!!!! I take my hat off for your enthusiesm and hard work!!! I am also South African now living in Germany .I was born in Luderitz and have soft spot for that Town!!! Are you setting sail direct from there or are you going via Walvis as well????? I wish you guys a smooth and safe sail all the way accross the Atlantic !!!!! Julle moet veilig bly en dit geniet !!!!! Hopelik is corona iets van die verlede as julle anderkant uitkom. Sal in gees saam met julle die oorgang geniet hier uit Duitsland!!!!!! Bon voyage julle!!!!!!!!
Baie dankie Helmuth. We are currently in Walvis and will be departing from here for St Helena. ☺
Wow the Monday before Christmas what a Christmas present for all of us thank you for sharing and I remember shopping like that when we are three kids worth my wife would stock up that brought back a lot of great memories I do have a couple questions one where is it where does your meat come from like where does your chicken come from in your beef does it come from Africa or Australia or America can't wait to see you on the open ocean Merry Christmas to you be safe and God bless we love you all
Our meat is South african. We do get chicken from Brazil etc but you can choose homegrown chicken as well ☺ Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🤗
@@livingwiththemaias good deal and thanks for the info be safe and God bless
Safe travels to you 🥰. I’ll be following along
Thanks Alan 🤗
Awesome ! That's how I need to shop for Home 😂
Rice, beans and flour, all dry goods, freeze it over night to kill bug eggs!
So glad to see the South Africans stocking up on meat. Quote of the day: "We didn't fight our way to the top of the food chain to eat salad!"
😂 😂 😂 For sure!
Safe voyage and may the winds be favourable !
Thank you Jan! 😊
Was that a State US lag ? Coast Guard flag, or a Delaware flag. Am interested on how you did that, understand the reasons, just would like to know how you did it, maybe a UA-cam clip with that?
Hi Guys. Been watching for a while now. And was curious now that you have passed Assention Island how the food situation is going. Saw that you are were living on the Bacon in yesterdays video.
We still have plenty of food aboard. We were just eating bacon cause that's what was in our second freezer. And we wanted to switch it off.. Our other freezer was too full. 😂
I don't think South Africans can ever have enough meat. Lol... I can luckily makr my own wors so once my son & I take the leap we should be sorted.
First time I’ve ever been the first viewer of any video! Can’t wait to watch, i love provisioning runs. Always glad it is not me!
YAY Lynn! 😊 Enjoy!
I have a silly question I haven’t thought about until now. How do you stow garbage? Wishing you only the best journey!
We have a compartment in the cockpit that our trash bags go into.
Safe travels guys.
Thanks 😊
Go Utes!
Haha, well, you have enough meat stacked to feed an orphanage! 😎😂 Curious about your trip!
Happy greetingz and great sailings! Wim
Thank you. Likewise ☺
For our family of 8, we spend $250-300 / wk.
For 3 months (x12), that's $3k - 3,600 US.
In Rand, that's 51k-61k.
If you're provisioning for 3 months @ 20k rand, that's pretty good.
Nice one with American flag . Defos the way to do it . well done.
Thanks Gavin ☺
Desejo a este lindo cescal meraviloso um feliz Natal para esta linda modelo e este excelente eletomecanica e toda sua linda familia
Safe journy be safe and have fun
Thanks Terri. ☺
Fair winds and safe travels
Thank you Ian. ☺
@@livingwiththemaias I am sailing to Knysna in January then jumping off and the boat is then heading to Capetown then crossing the Atlantic its called African Dream 38 ft catamaran
God speed 🙏Lady Africa ⛵🏝️
Thank you ☺
I love love love the provisioning part. Any chance you still have that receipt and can put pics on your Instagram so I can look in detail and compare?
I'll have to look for it. ☺
Are you expecting another pandemic lockdown, with all that toilet paper? 🤣😂🤣😂
This is true!
Alle voorspoed en Veilige reis !!!!!
Baie dankie Johan ☺
Hi have I missed something? I didn't know you had arrived in Namibia. In the last video 152 you were still swimming with seals in Cape Town. Is there no video of your trip up to Namibia?
Yes there is. We are back logged so you will be getting it next week ☺
What !!! No alcohol ? :D
Merry Christmas to you guys
We have our stash as a celebratory when we get to our destination but underway this is strictly a dry boat ☺ Merry Christmas to you and your family as well.
@@livingwiththemaias 👍
where many a cruising kitty die.
How did you register in USA,? Was it eazy
Good luck!
Thanks 😊
@@livingwiththemaias Lots of us are sailing with you in spirit. Fair winds!
I might be alone in this but I hate having the continuity broken. You’re telling a story, you should maintain a chronological order. Is there going to be video of the passage between Cape Town and Namibia?
There will be when I get out to editing it. 👍🏻
Flagging boats and ships in countries that have convenient regulations is a time honored tradition of mariners. :) You'd be surprised how big a percentage of all ships world wide are flagged in Panama, The Marshal Islands, and Liberia.
More importantly. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! See you in 2021.
Thank you and likewise 🤗
With CoVid raging in Brazil are the borders open in the Caribbean etc to boaters?
Some say they are. Some say they are not. Will have to see once we get closer to departing for there.
Did you have a weekly meal plan in order to work out how much stuff to take for three months? I struggle to provision for more than a few days. And I don't have a freezer:(
Yeah we worked it out with what we would eat per day ☺
Lekker man lekker
Dankie ☺
Only one piece of biltong!?
Are you insane? That won't last the Atlantic! :P
OK, 3 pieces it getting better... Still under stocked.
One piece... Never 😂 more like a whole freezer full!
Go Uths
You may pay a bit more in the Bahamas but they have everything too...
Definitely not as cheap as SA though 😂
Yes South Africans are carnivores. Buy lots now because most of the world is very expensive. Whenever I live abroad I that is what I miss the most good meat at good prices. Here in Russia a small steak costs a lot of money.
That's why we got another freezer to take more meat. We have heard a lot of people say that. ☺
Instead of all that TP that takes up precious room. You should install a bidet you will use 2/3s less TP
On a boat you're kinda limited with space..
@@livingwiththemaias they make them that install on your existing toliet
Yeah our toilet barely fits in the space provided let alone contraptions. 😂
Good luck
Thanks Deon ☺
Im seriously confused? Apparently your still in South Africa.. but you sailed away, something we have been all waiting and asking for, but you didn’t show it? Or it in this episode?
We are back logged. It's coming still. It was just an mini update.
@@livingwiththemaias oh okay! I got confused.. sorry guys!
Did you get Covid vaccinated before embarking?
No not vaccinated. We got a yellow fever vaccine. Just got covid tested.
It`s normal consume food inside the market in South Africa?
If you pay for it yeah.
@@livingwiththemaias In Brazil the employees will be following you until you pay :P
Holly crap, how much meat 🥩 did you buy. That Ricky and the boys have a healthy meat addition...🤣😂🤣😂. You will catch loads of fish on the way. So hence I think you got too much meat.
Rather be safe than sorry ☺
seem they are stocking up on carbs carbs carbs
Love the fact you have meat, instead of fake plat base meat.
Lüderitz is my town of birth
How is the new mutated COVID travel restrictions affecting your journey? Hope you are well!
It's made it a lot harder on us. More paperwork and Covid tests. We just have to skip the countries that are in lockdown.
Cornflakes etc place in insect proof containers?
Yup sure is.. That's it the cornflakes will last long enough for insects to even think about it. 😂
Dit lyk dan of julle te min mieliepap gekoop het..... :) :)
Dalk ne.. Ons sal restock in Namibia 😂
Ive missed an episode i think?
Ek hou julle al dop van vroeg toe julle begin het, wens julle voorspoed en n veilige vaart. laat weet gereeld. Bon Voyage julle
Baie Dankie. Ons waardeur dit! Voorspoedige Nuwejaar 😀
fare winds and following sea's gl hf bsafe 🤞😎😂
Thank you ☺
Bon Voyage.
Ciao ciao ☺
Except that there is alot of hostility against Americans and pirates love American flagged boats. They think of the money. Anyway good luck.
That big cat would be a target no matter what flag it was flying. I agree with the hostility though.
OMG got enough food? how many years you gonna be at-sea, you do know people eat all over the world... grocery stores.... are everywhere ....
Are grocery stores in the middle of the Atlantic.. I don't think so 😂
@@livingwiththemaias how many months will you be in the MIDDLE of the Atlantic? ... anyway, best of luck on your journey....
😂 😂 Thanks.
That's all I could think watching this video, that and, "Do you not know how masks work?"
Just want to make you aware that if you do not choose, and you let UA-cam decide, they are inserting two ads every four minutes. Which means I will never make it to the end of this video
Hi Lynn, I am a Premium subscriber with Utube & get zero ads. For all of the streaming and access I get (rather than TV), it is probably one of the most cost-effective subscriptions I have ever had. Like you, the frequency of ads you are getting would drive me crazy too. I am just saying revisit your options.
@@nigellowe_sys7334 Appreciate it, but I’m not in the mood to pay for anymore video,cable, streaming service, etc. I’ve had enough! I don’t like the model where UT abuse the you know what out of us would the insane amount of ads and then extract money to stop doing it. Every creator I have talked to has been unaware of it that’s how it was working now. I can put up with a reasonable amount that the creators allow. But if they saw what was happening to their videos I feel fairly sure they would go back in and change their setting on that video, because they wouldn’t even watch that many.
@@lynncanatella9711 Quite understandable. Then I understand & like your initial point of alerting the creator to this. I hope you find a remedy to you still 'staying the journey'.
