Hey Alex,
            That got me to thinking, I do have lots of list for long term
cruising and some other stuff on stowage and modifications.  Think if I
have the time I'll post those lists.  Some were posted a number years ago
when we were sailing in the Sea of Cortez and another time for British
Columbia.  A lot has stayed the same but some things have changed due to
the current sailing conditions and past experience.  So coming soon to a
list near you....
