Many of our provisions were delivered today, and we
spent most of the morning finding places to stow them on the boat. Charlie
unscrewed the floorboards and found a lot of space under the floor:
Here are some of the other supplies:
It is quite amazing how much food 6 people are
supposed to eat over 20 days, bearing in mind that we will be quite physically
active during that time. ARC have laid on several seminars, of which I
have attended the provisioning seminar. Charlie was surprised that I
needed any instruction when it came to shopping. Anyhow, one of the
recommendations is that treats are split into 3 sealed bags, so that there is
something to look forward to each week when the bag is opened and there are your
faviourite biscuits/crips/sweets etc, which is what I have done.

Here Alice and Pip playing with their friends in
one of the few free areas of the boat (the forepeak) - the rest of the boat
was covered with boxes and packets while we unloaded. There are lots
of cushions in here from the saloon, which have been removed temporarily while
the provisions are stowed:
