The problem with that being I'd end up beaching the boat in the Carib and passing out in the sand.

Beer is a workin' drink.

you could do that. since beer is a complete meal you could just ditch all the food.

and hey, ever tried dehydrated beer? you could reconstitute it with filtered sea water.

How's the spreadsheet?

awesome! i have it so i can input my current lat and long, my target lat and long and have it calculate the bearing to that point. then i put in how fast i can go on different bearings for the current wind condition, and it tell me which of those points of sail gives me the highest velocity made good to the target destination. it's all trig.
