I have to be very careful at lunch or I can suffer on the return trip. I powered my way around the Isle of Man with a small water proof plastic bottle of peanuts, a plastic bottle of liquid honey and lots and lots of water. Worked really well except for the last day when I somehow miscalculated the distance and ended up paddling for an additional four hours. Somehow an extra 13 nautical miles got added in to the distance I had to cover. In about the middle of it I found some friends waving to me from shore. I landed and ate everything they had but far too fast. The resulting blood sugar rush almost put me on the floor. I felt nauseous for a few moments walked it off and was able to continue. Some where within the last half mile my plastic bottle of honey was washed off the deck. I felt like Tom Hanks in Cast Away - I'd lost a companion but could not go back for him. I was just to bagged.
