Almost a bean-free boat

I can't believe it. All those dried beans I stocked up with way back when
in Guern-land, mainly gone!!!!!!
I was pressure-cooking a 'bunch of beans' for a tandoori-bean stew, in
preparation for our forthcoming epic 170nm voyage tomorrow, when I
realised that I'd (finally) finished two packs of beans, so only a couple
of small packs to go. I wonder how I'll survive without stocking up before
Panama?
Oh yes, did I mention, all being well leaving at 0630 tomorrow morning. Go
West, young (young?) man.
Doc has finally finished unpacking (only taken her since last Wednesday
night. There's nothing to beat traveling light and believe me, that's
nothing like traveling light. Luckily I managed to unearth my ancient
voltage step-down transformer (from 240Volt down to 110Volt) so we'll all
be able to use the electric Shiatsu machine (at least, I think that's what
it is).
So, tomorrow morning, orft to La Blanquilla. The winds have finally
started to die down a bit so it should/possibly/might be a reasonable
trip. Hopefully, about 30 hours. Crikey Guv, just realised the old moving
map display will finally show some movement!!!!!
