That’s what about 2/3 of the provisions for four for a month aboard looks like, well, 2.5-3 weeks anyway.
Mom and I did the big provisioning run Wednesday for groceries, minus fresh produce, which Dave & I will pick up on the way to the boat Saturday. It’s not like we’ll be in the boondocks, so we don’t have to worry about provisioning everything for the entire month. We stocked up on a bunch of non-perishable foods, and meat for a significant number of meals, which Dave portioned, vacuum sealed and put in our deep freezer at home. He’s hoping to catch some fish along the way, and there will be some meals ashore.
The mess of food pictured above has since been sorted and bagged, and is sitting on our living room floor waiting to go aboard Friday, along with the meats, since our onboard freezer is now down to temperature. Of course, the pile has grown since yesterday, as we continue to add things, and more will be added before we head over tomorrow morning. Then we have to make space for it all!
