BOUND FOR THE BAHAMAS

With Charmed 99.44% provisioned for the voyage to the Bahamas, we will soon be moving again. We will depart Daytona Beach Thursday, looking to make south Florida and possible jumping off points as soon as convenient.

Debbie has done a fabulous job of provisioning. My contribution has been mostly as pack mule. There is no question we must think there are no sources in the Bahamas for food or drink, or the other goods we might consume in the next five months. If we put ten pounds of stuff on the boat, we put a thousand. We did read a lot about how to make this trip, and collected comment from those who have gone before us. When shopping we just always put one more, or two more, of whatever we were buying in our cart, especially if the item wasn't a perishable. We should have taken pictures. Thank God for the storage space on Island Packets!
