    Great episode ! Provisioning a sailboat for extensive travel has always fascinated me. I bought a book, " The Essential Galley Companion " just to help me wrap my head around it. There is so much involved and Grace, you did a killer job of explaining that. You must have been thankful for the help you got. It's the organizational skills your mom possesses that I lack, I wish I could plug into her brain and get some of it😀. Hey Bill how ironic you change out all those blocks and it's the seizing on a halyard clasp that bites you in the ass, what? Also I tried complimenting your narrating skills but apparently someone in upper management feels a little coaching may be in order😅. I tried buddy, I tried 🤣🤣 Good stuff guys!! Be well !!!

    Provisioning a boat for an extended crusie has to be arguably the worst job. Hats off to you Grace for pulling it all together.I see Bill took care of the beers. 👍
  • French Poly has everything, but its all in one place, Tahiti. And, expensive ? OFF THE CHARTS ! Especially things you can definitely store on the boat, Coffee for instance ! Vegi's, there's a secret, you go to little farms that aren't even advertised, are somewhat secret. That sailbag sure looks good !
  • @marisaconner628
    Oh my gosh! I can’t believe you fit all that stuff in! Awesome work! And your mom is great!
  • As someone who aims to follow in your wake… I find uploads like this probably more interesting than I should.
  • I have no idea where I'm going to stash my provisions on my tiny boat. Collapsible containers like you have under your table is an awesome idea that I hadn't thought of before. I'll have to do some container provisioning before I do my boat provisioning so that I'll have someplace to put it all.
  • Glad your Mom could visit and help. What a monumental task the provisioning is. Looking forward to your passage. Thanks for sharing.
  • I love watching people’s provisioning and long Pacific crossings, especially with Starlink updates throughout the voyage!
  • @teedub1990
    I don't know why but I love provisioning videos.
  • @rayb3117
    That provisioning is like planning meals for an entire Marine Battalion that is in the field on an exercise. Fortunately for the marines they have food service staff to haul and prep it for the marines. Im just glad I dont have to plan or provision like that. How cow dats a lotta food.
  • @karlfair
    We found a Seal-a-Meal and O2 absorbers helped a lot with keeping dry goods fresh and free of critters. With careful use the bags can be used several times. O2 absorbers will kill critters in Tupperware as well. Beer is one of the hardest to store. Cans are not very strong on their sides and there is never enough room. When a can bursts, it's such a mess. You're underway at this point. Safe travels.
  • @seafuryphil
    What a huge job provisioning is ,very satisfying to see in 15 min . Lol i bet not as fun in real life,but big work = big rewards. ⛵️🍺
  • @bake162
    I like how the taxi driver is laughing because you are having fun in his cab, love that friendlyness about Mexico
  • @lazzj4995
    Sorry you had me at 36ft. Always assumed you were 40ft+. Great boat layout. You crushed it:)🎉
  • I love provisioning videos! Great job Grace. I’d be interested in your meal planning.
  • @ejs6010
    Great provisioning discussion.
  • @crphilipp
    Saw that you just arrived in Fatu Hiva after 23 day passage. Great job!
  • @shannonstone865
    That looks like an awesome grocery store , I didn’t do much exploring in La Cruz , great to know , what? A Costco too , super spot to provision!
