Talk:Chris Bertish

Map
A map showing the journey (I imagine the GPS coordinates were reported on his website) would be a good addition. 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 11:42, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Weight of craft - too light
The article says the craft weight 1,350 lbs which Bertish now considers "too light".

There is no explanation of why this is too light. The sentence is followed by a footnote that explains it was more than 10 times heavier than his normal paddle board and was "really difficult to paddle" but he got used to it.

This seems to imply it was too heavy, not too light. But if you read the source (Nat Geo), he says it was too light for the open ocean because it was thrown around like a cork.

I found this all very confusing. Why the footnote when it doesn't explain the "too light" comment? This should be clarified. MB 01:16, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

Photo and Food
I googled to see what the craft looked like; certainly not a standard paddleboard. I was curious as to how he stored all that food. HalfGig  talk  12:33, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
 * "The deck of the craft is equipped with four ports that allows Chris to store all of his freeze dried meals and 50 liters of emergency water for the 120 days duration of the Sup Crossing. The emergency water on board will also act as moveable ballast for the craft as supplies are diminished."
