hat to bring

In 4 of the 10 weeks we are 4 persons aboard and have to be really critical about what to bring for weight reasons. However, we have arranged it such that we are flying along the east- and north-east cost in this period, and therefore the nearest aerodrome will never be far away. Hence we don't have to bring full fuel.
