This page covers some of the
planning, purchasing, and stowage of many of the spare parts, gear, water, fuel,
and provisions for our extended cruise later this summer. Our provisioning
and preparation efforts are designed to not only allow us the means to repair
most issues that may arise, but also to be able to remain anchored in more
remote areas for longer without the need for a shoreside provisioning
run.
I spent much of the spring and
early summer preparing things for the trip, including obtaining spare parts,
reorganizing storage areas, and inventorying the lockers and creating storage
plans so we could find things later. I also made list after list covering
desired purchases of gear, food, and other supplies.
As we approached the departure
date, I became increasingly antsy. Enough preparations...let's go
cruising!
