Mr Mockus also told what he was feeding and what he drank in the middle of the ocean. « Liophilized, special cold -dried food. It is extremely lightweight, very nutritious, preserves all nutritional values. Really the diet was quite wide. I had all kinds of stews, goulahs, pasta, even stewed cabbage, » laughed A. Mockus. « One of the most expensive parts of the boat equipment was a special florist. It takes high pressure from the ocean and completely releases salts through certain filters and you get clean and fresh water, » the traveler shared.

The typhoon does not see, just feel the wind, the clouds go. would join, ”Mockus shared his memories.
