I am not much removed from a newbie but one of the things that we did regarding provisioning is ordered all the heavy bulk stuff through moorings and had that all onboard and in the fridge chilling. this included:
- gallons of drinking water
- pop
- beer!
- boxed stuff (chips, crackers), etc

We then went to Rite way for the perishables and meat. This saved us a ton of energy and hassle getting the heavy stuff on board.

This year, I think we will get everything through Moorings. After a hectic day of travel, just too much stress to go shopping in the evening. Also ensuring that everything is on the boat and ready to go is worth the extra cost (if there is any..)

Also, buy lots of water in Rd Town. If you run out it is much more expensive every where else it seems. One more thing, my wife is a fanatic for cucumbers in sandwiches and there was not a cucumber to be found after leaving Rd Town until Soper's Hole! (you can file that under nice to know and not mission critical <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />)
