During the course of the past several weeks, we have considered the many things that other potential transatlantic sailors could do to prepare themselves for this event. Following are some of our recommendations, based on our experience to date.
1. Learn to skate in the bed of a pickup truck while driving through West Virginia.
2. For a month, wear only four changes of clothes. Note: you are allowed to wear your cleanest dirty clothes.
3. Hang a sheet outside your bedroom window to flop all day and night.
4. Sprinkle you belongings every day for a month with saltwater.
5. Change your schedule for a month so that you can only sleep at night every 3rd day, for only 5 hours.
6. For 6 weeks, sleep only 5 hours per night, and then wake up and watch a TV test pattern for 3 hours.
7. Sleep on a roller coaster for 6 weeks.
8. Turn off the TV, radio, phones, PC, and avoid all your family and friends for 6 weeks.
9. If you are male, you must sit down to tinkle for 6 weeks. This can be swapped to peeing on your shoes.
10. For 2 weeks, sleep in your garage with the car engine running to get used to odors and noises.
11. Spent 6 weeks living entirely inside your house using only the kitchen, bathroom and 2 bedrooms, with 3 other people.
12. For your next 3 shopping trips, go only to markets with labels in languages you cannot read.
13. For 6 weeks, eat all your meals while playing on a see-saw.
14. Learn to cook using a hibachi on a swing.
