Re water (just a lurker otherwise) general rule of thumb is one
gallon/person/ day, say 4L/person/day. Thats a comfortable amount for
drinking (hydration) purposes only. Add a bit to be on safe side and
double your trip time if there's no good way to resupply. That's for
general purposes, for paddling all out I use 16 fluid ounces/hour
say .5L/hour and that has worked well.
cheers, Skip
