All,
I'll preface this question with a warning story of what can happen if you don't do the right thing by your body!
I recently ended up in Emergency with disorientation and memory loss. I had done a lot that day, a bike ride plus 5 short couse races. I did not have much to eat and very little to drink. The general opinion of the medicos that it was an episode brought on by obviously doing too much and not eating/drinking enough. It was a worring time for my wife as she didn't know whether I had had a stroke or not.
Now I am trying to carry a bottle of water on the boat but not having much luck finding a good solution to where to put it. I have it tied up with a short piece of rope at the back of the cockpit but aftyer a capsize yeaterday it got wound around the tiller and a nice loop around the traveller blocks (Arggghh...)
I was thinking that I could use a bicycle bottle holder screwed or velcroed to the back of the cockpit.
I had a search throug the forum and some people use an elasticised bag attached at the front.
Is there a preferred solution? What do the top sailors do?
Thanks Ian
