On the issue of sailors...didn't Captain Elias do a feast on this subject a
few years back?  I STR that he did one that utilized supplies that would
have been available at the beginning of the voyage and each course was based
on what he theorized they would have left as the voyage continued.  I don't
have time this morning as I have an appointment to go to but will look it up
when I return.  I do have a copy of the feast booklet he wrote on the
subject.
