Author Information

Richard Bevan joined Neroli with somewhat slimmer sailing credentials than the other (veteran) crew members, although he's sailed irregularly for many years. A week on Neroli in Croatia was not sufficient to deter owner/skipper Charlie Tongue from issuing an invitation to join the crew for the crossing from St. Lucia to the Azores, although not much to do with sailing appeared on the job description. He was ship's cook and in charge of provisioning (planning, buying, repackaging, cooking, freezing and stowing food for 28 days with emergency supplies for another 10). After sailing to Antigua, Neroli set off for the Azores but was forced into Bermuda by a generator fault. The opportunity to re-provision was welcomed and fully exploited. The Atlantic crossing was then completed in good order and with excellent food. Before and during the voyage, the author also had the task of maintaining Neroli's blog, excerpts from which (especially those related to life in the galley) are included in the book.
