Dropping our hook off this completely uninhabited island was a pretty incredible feeling, to say the least, and then a fun sail south to Mayreau Beach Club was also a brand new landscape, as far from the rugged shores of Petite Nevis. Which would you prefer to anchor at? The uninhabited island once used for whaling? Or the super new beach club with a large bar and four infinity pools? 🤔

I'm a bit older than you but finding weevils in your flour and rice was a regular thing when I was a little girl. Boiling your rice with a few bugs in it isn't going to kill you. I believe that Plukky from Sailing into Freedom always adds dried herbs to his rice because you can't distinguish the flecks of herbs from flecks of bugs. LOL

Hi Tribe, the bugs are actually weevils and are in the rice even before packaging, the rice comes to these places via massive cargo ships and the rice bug is already there in their billions, because that rice is not classified as class 1 grain and has not gone through the cleaning process. Great episode, heaps of bugs, I mean hugs 🇬🇧🇦🇺🌈🤣💖

They originate from India, Pakistan. Glad u threw it out.

The bugs are weevils and not exclusive to the Caribbean you will discover. Partially due to the age of products already before finding themselves to the shelves of Caribbean, Pacific, Indian Ocean. I lnow it sounds gross, but the other commenter was right, you can drop it in water and tgey will float to top.... you'll find them in pasta and dried beans too. You can try to keep these provisions a bit longer by discovering them before they proliferate too much.

☝️This!👍 I think everyone’s got their own preferences for how to do it, like most things involving boat-life. In the ‘80s my impecunious brother and his mates bought enough rice for 6 people/6 months in the UK, stuck it in 1kg poly bags, bunged it in ice-cream tubs and crossed the pond to spend a season in the Caribbean. They just floated most of the weevil out before they cooked it. Same with the flour but the best they could do was sieve it, so they did that and cooked with it anyway. Nobody died, nobody got sick, they had an amazing time. I still prefer the vac/heatseal/freezer method, in my own mind I always imagine that what they ate must’ve had a slightly unusual musty nuttines about it. 😁 Beautiful episode, your reflection on how your lives have changed was heartwarming to hear, that and your appreciation for those changes. Yes, you’re being reborn as sailors and that is not a bad thing to be, not a bad thing at all. Just a thought, if you’re between islands the tidal current can get pretty accelerated. Over the years a few yachties have been lost through underestimating it. It’s not a bad idea to trail a floating line with a fender on the end if you’re going for a swim before you’ve really had a chance to check it out for a tidal cycle or two. That was a bit of big bro advice that I did take, thanked him for it a few months later as well. Keep on keeping on, it’s a pleasure to watch you growing into the rhythm of the sea.

♥️♥️🥰🥰

If weevils are already there, either MICROWAVE the offending food item for five minutes or DEEP FREEZE for two hours. Then, when clear, insert the BAY LEAVES (or VACUUM PACK (CRYOVAC) if this is possible). This is for pasta, flour, muesli, rice, biscuits etc., all grain products.

So sorry to see the "Rice Bugs" I'm a recipe developer, food writer etc, these lovely little bugs more than likely came with the bags of rice you bought. It's not a great idea to buy that much rice in bulk, due to the nature of how you buy and why you buy in bulk I totally understand. There are some preventions that you can take to help you prevent this happening again! Or reducing it anyways. Okay sorry to say that you are only seeing the adults in the bag, the female will bore into the grains, lay an egg and do this around 300-400 times in one lay. So you can't eat the other grains, also they will have gone into all your other products like pasta, pulses and grains. So I'm afraid you'll have to dump that as well. Hoover out all the holes, nooks and crannies. Wipe down, not with bleach, as this will deter the Weeviles to move to a different part of the boat. Then you'll need to get a spray Called PYRID, spray the nooks & crannies etc, then apply another spray called , NOVACIDE. allow to dry then you can replace your rice, BUT keep in air tight containers, that is a MUST. Try to only have a stock of 1-2 weeks while inshore. If you are making a passage that is going to take longer, I suggest cooking the rice, pulses etc and putting bagged up in your freezer. For that particular passage. Yes I know space is limited, but it will save you money in the long run, as you wont have to throw away unused foods. Just assume that any type of pasta, pulse, grain, almost all dry foods will be affected. Hope this helps. The sprays are available online, plus you might even be able to get them in a good store onshore. Remember it's nothing you've done wrong & most likely come from the store where you purchased the rice, as they store large amounts of grains for passing sailors. Bon voyage

The one thing holding us back from adapting this lifestyle is the question of income. I understand y’all have KZread, Patron supporters and a line of merch, but this was your dream all along. Before you found success on KZread etc., how did you plan on funding all of this? I know y’all worked really hard to save up and buy a boat, but I find it unlikely that you saved a lifetime of income. Obviously y’all live within budgets and spend very frugally, but I was hoping this episode discussed that difference a little more. As exciting as it probably is to experience it, visiting remote islands in the Caribbean all start to run together. What makes one island worth sailing too verses another? Whether your down in the Grenadines or up in the Exhumes, I challenge y’all to find a way to make every episode unique to the destination, basically giving us future sailors a reason to put a pin on that island as why to visit or avoid. Or not. Your channel, I’m just a casual observer. Best to the both of you!

Totally a valid reason to have doubts, we were planning on saving up and then sailing until we ran a little low on money and getting a temporary job somewhere to up the funds, or failing that, getting a job working remotely (we have friends who work in accounting and marketing who manage to sail still!). The other type of income we have heard works well is property- renting a place out as a means of affording the boat work 'bills' and food. As for the which island we pick, its usually done on what we can do there, the diving, safety and on other cruisers recommendations. Hope this helps!
