Where are we gonna put this stuff????

Going sailing for the summer on our sailboat is going to be an amazing adventure!!! Two months of warm breezes, beautiful beaches, snorkeling, swimming, fishing and meeting new people in a different country!!! However, getting there requires us to carry all of the things that we need on our boat. We do not have a walk in pantry or a sub zero freezer... we have storage under the sitting areas and some behind our small stove. We have a refrigerator that has a small freezer which means lots of planning for what, when and where we're going to eat!!! We have a vacuum sealer for our freezer foods. Today, Ray packaged steaks, meatballs and chicken in servings of two. We are hopeful of catching most of our dinners but you have to be prepared!! On board we will also have peanut butter, jelly, sandwich rounds, bananas, apples, oatmeal, protein bars, packaged tuna, pasta, onions, eggs, bacon, green peppers, tomatoes, chips, pretzels, rice, potatoes, an assortment of frozen/canned veggies, bottled water and soft drinks... oh and lots of M&M's!!! Hey, the weather can get rough and I need something to keep me from killing the captain.... ;) The point is that we cant just head over to Publix and pick up something for dinner! The out islands are without any kind of supermarket!! We have to know what we need and get it here in the states before we head out. Nassau does have a nice grocery store but the prices are CRAZY high!!!! We just do not realize how easy we have it here in the United States until we go to a different country! When we were in Staniel Cay back in 2010, we had to wait for the mail boat to come in before we could get onions and tomatoes. I love it though. I'm ready for island time!!! All of the hurried preparations of the house, the boat and the bank account will fall into a slow rhythm of where to anchor, where to fish, where to swim and which book to read... or write!!!
