Preparations

It's countdown time. Only 4 days until we plan to push off the dock again. Peter has been busy taking care of boat insurance, fixing our pool leak, and paperwork for the Bahamas. Jane has been making lists and menus for provisioning. She spent the morning at the supermarket and the afternoon organizing supplies on the dining room table. Tomorrow is BJ's Day to get meat for the freezer. We are bringing enough for 70 dinners so we will have to eat out and catch some fish along the way. We have 3 people on the boat for 4 weeks and 5 people during one of those weeks. We are still expecting some deliveries of medicine, cruising guides, and Irish brown bread mix so if they don't arrive by Friday then we may have to delay leaving.

Our dining room table made a good lay out for supplies. Our freezer is full to the top with meats and Jane gave up one clothes locker for chips & snacks. We have been told by friends already there that they are hard to come by and if you get them a bag of chips can be $6. Beer is also expensive so we are going to learn to drink rum...pain killers baby!!! If Pretzel gets too demanding we might give her a sip as well.
