Ahoy! Buccaneer and I are anchored at North Fork River in Stuart, Florida. There has been a gusty Northern wind causing the ICW to a bit boisterous. We are tucked safely in the lee of the land.
During our first month here I have been provisioning the boat with food, toiletries, paper goods and items to make Kluane more comfortable. Betsy asked for more photos of where and how we store items in a small space- Thanks Betsy! Under both the port and starboard settees in the salon there are compartments for cans, packages and jars. The posts and books I have read guided me to buy our favorite American products- peanut butter, pizza crusts, teas, crackers, protein powder. Eggs, flour, rice, beans- simple staples will be available most places. I created a spreadsheet (yes seriously, Mom) to track what is in each compartment. This will help manage our stores along the way! Our eating has changed- for the absolute better- since being away. We eat most- I'd say 99%-of meals in. Last night we had pasta with garlic chicken, zucchini, peppers and onions with salad. Yum! As we use items, I write them down and when we plan a shopping run- we put the dingy in the water and walk to the grocery once on shore. I am enjoying the time to cook and keeping track of our favorite recipes.
More to come on the dinghy and the refrigerator in future posts.
Time for lunch!
