We are working on a seastead design that will have a 40 by 16 foot living area above the water.
There will be 4 foot wide columns that are about 24 feet long going out from 
from the 4 corners of living area and down into the water at 45 degrees, which half of
each column under water.   The bottoms of the floats will make a rectangle about 50 feet wide and 74 long.
From the bottom of each column there will be 
2 cables going to the adjacent corners to hold it in place.
There will also be a cable making a rectangle between the bottoms of all the floats so we have some
redundancy in case one cable breaks.
The seastead is about 36,000 lbs I think but this is NOT a normal boat hull shape,
it is more like a tiny oil platform as far as drag.

We expect to use 2.5 meter diameter propellers on two low speed submersible mixers and solar power to move
at around 0.5 to 1 MPH plus any help from careful use of eddies.


We want to look at the normal user operation of the seastead.
Will a user be able to sit at a computer and work just doing a look around every so often?
Is using AI to do "night watch" with radar, AIS, visual likely to be safe and legal in the next 2 or 3 years for a slow seastead?
How much does a month's supply of food weigh and cost?

The seastead will basically be a big Fish Aggregating Device (FAD) so I expect people living on a 
seastead will have all the fish they want.  I am a bit worried people might get tired of eating fish every day.
However, I don't get tired of eating eggs or cheeseburgers, so I am not sure about getting tired of fish.
I imagine a bread maker and a sprouter could be very useful on a seastead.  And all sorts of canned food.   
I wonder if I had a fish sandwich with canned coleslaw if I would not get tired of that.
Is there scientific studies on why/when people get tired of some repetitive food?
What general advice can you give from the experience of families sailing around on yachts about food and diet?
In particular how much of a problem would eating fish every day really be?

If we are making our own water and catching plenty of fish (assume we have freezer full of a variety of young fish at 
all times), how many months worth of the rest of our food
stuff could we store for a family of 4 (2 adults 2 young children) in 2500 lbs?

If we eat fish most days for a long time there is some worry about mercury poisoning.  It seems if we eat
smaller and younger fish mercury is not such a problem.  There is also  "ciguatera" where ciguatoxins from
eating smaller fish near reefs build up in larger fish.   I guess big fish might eat by a reef
sometimes and then go to deep ocean?  So maybe if we should just eat things like smaller mahi-mahi from the FAD?
Can we get a machine or test strips that make it easy to test a fish for mercury and/or ciguatoxins?
