Pic unrelated.

I will be participating in my first overnight race as crew this weekend. I've been told there won't be any cooking, so bring snacks. We do have a fridge. I am wondering what would be some good snacks to bring. Weather looks dry, but up here that can be an hour by hour basis. I am wondering if anyone has any advice, tips, or just general knowledge they would like to impart. I am very nervous. New boat, new crew just to make it extra fun. I think I have the basic gear down, all my typical sailing trip stuff + headlamp and tether for nighttime.

Right?! How did the race go?? What happened on the way back, you guys did a bit of a circle?

It was HORRIBLE! But I learned a lot. I put a new reply up top with the details.
