7 jumbo kitchen rolls
4 Clorex bathroom cleaners (bleach-type stuff)
4 toilet duck
4X washing up liquid
Ziplock bags
60 kitchen trash bags
10lbs of rice (more to come)
Filled-up 3X 6kg bottles of Propane (top- up the 4th just before we leave)
After experimentation selected the wine for the trip, Chilean 'Cab Sauv'
in boxes and a quaff-able Chilean White, parentage unspecified also in a 2
litre box (with a screw top!!). I anticipate about 30 litres of each
I also anticipate about 120 cans of Balboa beer will also find their way
on board.
Still to get:
Corned dog
Pasta + sauces and pesto
a variety of herbs, spices and sauces
10kg of flour (can get en-route) + large quantities of yeast
Tinned veggies/fruit/ chicken & beef
Should be admeasured today. The agent, Stanley, is arranging my visa; you
now don't even need to attend in person to get one!
Probably signed up the third person for the trip (more later when she
confirms)
Freya arriving on the 10th March and I'm negotiating to arrange the Canal
Transit for the 12th March.
Phew!
