It was't your reply Carol.

If it was just the 2 of us I wouldn't bring anything down. But with a group of 8, it just makes making meals on the boat SO much easier. No frying up bacon or sausage in the morning. Taco meat for lunch, or when we had an afternoon at White Bay and don't feel like making a big meal, just nuke the already made up meat, cut a few things up and dinner is ready. Chicken breast are all trimmed of fat and marinated, filet mignons are bacon wrapped and seasoned ready for the grill.

We live in the midwest with some great steaks available to us. I know what I'm bringing is good and available. I can't say that for some of the meat I have purchased in the BVI's.

We spend several thousand dollars on provisions. We are down for a minimum of 16 nights. We take 5 dinners with us. We spend PLENTY at restaurants.

Rant over.
