...and how do you eat?

This is another question that people ask me very often and makes me laugh. I answer: with my mouth!, and you?


The initial idea was to fish as much as possible, as I was trying to measure my capacity of self sufficiency. It worked out two days. But then it happened that I was not fishing for long time, and eat seafood the whole day is ok, but salad or rice is after a while very desirable. So i had to go more often to the supermarket or the food shop. I quickly realised that I don't need to get food for one week, as it is too much weight, and in the iberian coast it is not likely that you get to a desert island or something similar. It is actually pretty much the opposite (with exceptions of the natural parks). Every day you are to find a town with shops, and therefore food. To cook you need a basic thing: heat. If I could I would have taken a solar kitchen, which would have been really helpful with so much sun. But the kayak is not as big. My first idea was to make a simple fire (as everybody did this summer in germany: grillen!). But again the coast is very populated and I ended up using a campingaz. But if I get to a secure place where I donnot bother anybody I do make a nice and warm fire.

Anyway, I mostly seek to fish, and I paddle always with my fishing line till I get my meal. This makes this trip even cheaper. In addition the hospitality, kindness and generosity of the people that i get to meet, fulls my belly and even my kayak with plenty of food and goods, and I am therefore to each of them very very thankful.
