What decisions will you make and what decisions can you delegate?
What are the priorities for the colonists? What will allow us to survive?
You have many problems to solve, but it will take each of your committees to help identify what those problems are exactly
You need to figure out how to coordinate the tasks of your competing committees

3. Rules Can we get along without rules?
What rules must we have to achieve success?
How will we enforce our rules?
Remember, each colonist was carefully chosen and they are supposed to be reliable people

6. Food / Drink Plan for 2lbs of food per person per day on average
1 Deer will provide 50lbs of food
Fishing may yield up to 30lbs of food per day, but requires 2 full-time fishermen…fish may be salted and stored for use during the winter
You have the first 180 days of supply of food; expect a resupply ship in 180 days with the same amount of food (this ship may or may not come in!)
Plan on 1 gallon of water per person per day for cooking
There are nearby fresh water springs, but water must be carried to camp and stored
For every 10 acres of crops, you need 2 full time laborers (1 acre will yield 50 lbs of food per harvest; 1 harvest per year)
It will take six workers a full day to clear on acre of land for planting
Once land is prepared and crops are planted, it will take 2 laborers working full time for every 10 acres of land
-12 cattle; 2 bulls (milk and/or meat); Expect to receive 4 cows per month from the South Carolina colony (slaughtering one cow provides 250 pounds of meat)

The Spanish are located somewhere to our south…not sure how far
