Yesterday was the first day in a long time we didn't have any wind, so I sat outside next to the fire and caught up on some reading.  Capt. Fatty Goodlander is a favorite of mine, and after reading his tale about Borneo I started thinking of all those cruisers out there and this virus.   

On one hand you can ride this out in the middle of nowhere, on the other, you still need supplies.
When entering a country you raise a yellow quarantine flag and wait for an official boat to arrive, or the capt
(only) can go to shore and check in.  However if the country is closed, how does one re-provision if not allowed off your boat?

I doubt those countries will allow delivery services to run supplies out.
