The Road to the Horizon: June 2026

As part of our "Finding Dory" webinar series, in the next webinar, we will look at food provisioning and storage, and the content of an onboard medical kit.

This time, we are joined by our guest presenter, Carlota Texeira who is part of the the Viking Explorers Rally organizers. From her base in Las Palmas, Carlota has supported transatlantic sailors for the past ten years, with her local knowledge and experience. So, in the upcoming webinar, she will share some of her key recommendations:

FOOD PROVISIONING AND STORAGE:

Fresh Produce Guide

Boat pantry divided in each group of food (e.g. cans, dry goods…)

Storage of fresh produce and cans

Pest proofing

Using fridge and freezers

Using a high-pressure cooker

Waste management at sea

FIRST AID KIT:

Maintenance, storage and things to remember.

Content of the kit divided in medical supplies and medicines for each need.

So, join our third (free) webinar of the season, on Monday June 8 at 20:00 Rome (CET) time (=18:00 GMT).

Our webinar will be held on “ZOOM” and consist of +- 60 minutes of presentation, followed by 30 minutes (or more if needed) of open Q-and-A/discussions/shared experiences amongst the participants.

Our webinars are free for all “Finding Dory” members. We will record the session and publish the link to the recording afterwards to all members of our community.

The instructions on how to join this webinar, are distributed to "Finding Dory" members only, rather than widely distributing the link via social media, mainly to avoid spammers to join in, and disturb our webinar.

So, if you want to participate in the webinars, first join the "Finding Dory V" community. Via our flotilla's Telegram chat group, we will send you the details for each webinar. Instructions on how to join the growing "Finding Dory" flotilla on Telegram, you can find in this Noforeignland blogpost.

About Peter Casier:

I will moderate for this webinar, as part of my role as "facilitator" for the "Finding Dory" flotilla. Since I retired from my job in the UN, I am a quasi full-time instructor-coach-trainer supporting fellow cruisers and new boat owners. I am also a regatta sailor on "bigger" boats.

"Finding Dory V", is a social community of cruisers who plan to cross the Atlantic (East-West and West-East) during the next season (2026-2027). It is the 5th year we organize this "free-to-join" adhoc group of yachties, bonded by one common goal: "to cross the Atlantic together, safely". In the last season, we had over 400 yachts participating in our flotilla.
"Finding Dory" is organized in collaboration with "Noforeignland" (NFL). How to join the Finding Dory flotilla and get the details of our webinars?
