The first trip was for dry goods, canned goods, paper goods, and liquor. Coffee, tea, canned meats, dry pasta, potatos, rice, candy, butter, cheese, etc. etc. There was hardly any room for us in the car on the way back to the boat.
The second trip was for meat. We bought whole loins of pork and beef, a boneless leg of lamb shank, chicken breasts, chicken thighs, and ground beef. Then we spent a couple of hours cutting, dividing, and bagging meal-sized portions of steaks, chops, ground beef, chicken and roasts. We barely got it all into the refrigerator. However, our friend Claire found us a small freezer this afternoon. Tomorrow, we will install it in the companionway shelf belowdecks. So we will now have plenty of freezer space for a full six months supply of meat for us and our guests.
Our plan is to purchase fruits and vegetables locally as we find them, but beef, pork, lamb and poultry are both scarce and quite expensive in the islands. Our cruising guides all recommend that we take an ample supply of those items.
Tomorrow, we have to figure out where all this stuff goes!
