Bob: Needed items:
Coke and a Lime Squeeze ball to go with the
Rum.
Steaks and a Magnum Grill to go with the
wine.
Your soulmate to share the cockpit as you
relax with your cigar.
Somehow I must have missed the write up from last year or I've forgotten it.
The PO of our boat spent a lot of time in that area and loved it. Did
pretty much what you are planning this year: a day or two out and a day at
a marina to re-stock.
Smooth sailing!
Bob and Kathy on the "NoKaOi"
