…and we’re about ready to go.

Quite a contrast to yesterday when we couldn't sit down.

Ann worked all day storing the food we’ll need for the next six months and recording where it went in her spreadsheet of all things.  We’ll buy fresh stuff at the markets and trade when we’re not in villages, but there’s some stuff that is either cheaper or better here so we buy and store.

And then there’s the critical 4 C’s – Coffee, Cheese, Chocolate and Crackers.  You just can’t get it or it’s outrageously expensive in Fiji when you can even find it.

From Ann–
Takes two to make this magic happen. Bob moved the heavy stuff and stored it in the bow. That allowed me to really make a mess and pull out what was in the lockers so I could shift the inventory. I am pleased to report that last year we had an additional three heavy duffle bags in the V-berth with food in them. This year it all fit under and behind the seats. Of course knowing what is available in Fiji makes it a little easier.

One entire cabinet is dedicated to crackers and chocolate. We are fast learners!

Also the books on the floor in this picture, a full set of encyclopedias as requested by the eighth grade teacher in Fulunga, have now been repacked into one box and stored by the table.

Raising our Charismas to an organized boat tonight!
