It’s David’s speedboat launching ritual — from 2026, no journey ever begins without a Vegemite sandwich or a close equivalent.
2026 年開始，每次當馮琰駕駛快艇出海前，必定會現以澳洲維吉麥三文治爲啟航前「必備儀式」。
The open waters aren’t like the motorways — finding a loo is hard (if your vessel doesn’t come with one). David needed, prior to his 02 August 2026 sailing in Auckland, a quick breakfast with something he was sure would not cause stomach issues. Occasional bouts of Long Covid also meant he needed something to keep him more-than-alert at sea.
水上情況與快速公路截然不同 — 水上並未常設洗手間 (如船上並無)。2026 年 8 月 2 日奧克蘭啟航之前，馮琰希望可以吃上不會引致肚痛。偶爾的疫後腦霧須得以解決，以保持其水上始終高度警覺。
Before heading to Hobsonville Marina that day, David’s breakfast was a quick and easy Vegemite sandwich. The launch and sailing was epic. The rest is history. Today, David absolutely always carries a jar of Vegemite with him. With his speedboat licences on him always as well, it’s just toast (or equivalent), some butter, a healthy (never too heavy) spread of Vegemite, and he’s ready to hit the waters.
當日前往賀森維爾碼頭之前，馮琰的早餐即是十分簡單的維吉麥三文治，以此開啟此段震撼航行，維吉麥從而成爲他航行前「必備品」。如今，馮琰身上一定常備快艇駕照及維吉麥。一些牛油，少量維吉麥，此多士食完即可啟程。
