We don’t really have a list but I can tell you it is the basics like flour, rice, dried beans, ramen noodles however we prefer the thi glass noodles made from bean. We are also getting soy milk, cereal, lots of oats and so on. We are really shopping for deals and buying bulk. We have probably spent about $150.00 at this point but if we bought the same things in the super market it would have been closet to $300. We will be eating alot of fish, conch, and other various sea food once we take off. Instead of going to the office to “bring home the bacon” I’ll be hunting for it on a daily basis. I’m going to have to shoot more fish with 2 more people to feed. Good thing I love to spear fish :)

I dont want to advertise it too hard but if anyone needs to get us a message or is interested in a charter you can go to the members tab and select "contact splendid via satellite" it's the last option. You can send short message to us on the satellite system while we are at sea or in an area with no internet.

Paul, I'll give you a ring 2morrow, and val, thanks for the tip. We will need to take on some provisions in Nassau so it is good advice. Mostly we will just be buying flour, rice and beans to go with the fresh caught fish or chickens. I love to shoot chickens with a sling shot :)

Capt Paul, good luck with the boat mate. Surly do the sounding, Endevors had a few bad years with "lay-up " issues.

Cheers.

There’s a government produce market in Nassau where you can load up on whatever local produce is available. It’s sold by the box. Cans get really boring after awhile. That said, canned butter is cheap and good. You can also get canned nestle’s double cream. Add some vinegar and voilal….sour cream. A little sugar…..dessert topping. BTW when we were in Nassau we tied up at marina for safety reasons. The Exumas are stunning.

Yep... Wether happens. I found an Endeavor 43 ketch/cutter that is outfitted well for cruising in Boot Key and I'm pulling her out next Tuesday to sound the bottom. If she sails well then I'll bring her home in 2 weeks. Settled on a good price and she is outfitted to the gills. She's been down the Thorny Path 4 times and last year in Mexico, Belize and Panama. Two owners and half her life in fresh water. The owner now has had her for 17 years. As you can see, I'm excited.

I'll drop you an email and give you the full story...

Now go load up that boat and hit the sea amigo... We'll talk later.
