The packing has started!



So the piles of items have started to pile up on the floor of our living room.  We both have lists that we think we will need for this trip.  My lists have more to do with tools, engine parts, charts and such.  RaeAnn's list has more of the practical side of the house.  Like dishes, bedding, clothes and food.....plus much, much more.
But really how do you ensure that you have all the stuff you will need for a 4 week trip down the Saint Lawrence and around NB and NS.  I know that there are the safely items that all boats need to have on them and the never ending lists of spare engine parts.  But there is some much more that you need to consider before I drive up to Bellville to move aboard the boat for 4 weeks.  One of the good things is that the boat we purchased has most of the items already on it to live on it.  For example; bedding, dishes, BBQ, pot and pan.  Myself and Harley (1st mate) are planning on driving up to Bellville with a rented car and then leave the car in Bellville.  So there is only so much room in the car that you can stuff things into.  I am sure that the piles of items will grow over the next 3 weeks and then we will have to vent the piles to fit into the rental car.

The good news if we forget some items there will be lots of boating places alone the way to shop at.
