He is the principal designer and builder of the Anne, a 70 ft. (21.3 m.), 60 ton (54,400 kg) gaff-rigged schooner upon which Stowe has lived for 20 years. Stowe has previously sailed the Anne to Antarctica (with a crew of eight) and sailed several extended out-of-sight of land voyages, the longest of which was six months in duration.

She is Stowe’s first mate for the first 300 days handling photography, computers and communication, as well as overseeing food supplies and preparing meals. Since entering the Roaring 40s in late November, Soanya has suffered from recurring and disabling seasickness, resulting in a loss of appetite, weight loss, and apathy. In calmer weather, she is able to eat and actively contribute to shipboard activities. While her current condition is not life threatening, sea conditions continue to compromise Soanya’s well-being. Reid and Soanya have agreed that she should transfer off the boat at the earliest opportunity in order to preserve her overall health.

Reid can maintain his original aims of the voyage, continue the journey, and finish out his 20-year dream to live at sea for 1000 days. The “1000 Days at Sea: The Mars Ocean Odyssey” voyage has the aim of remaining in the open ocean, out-of-sight of land, with no re-provision or resupply for a period of 1000 days, emulating in some respects a voyage to Mars which takes 1000 days for a round trip.
