At a minimum have heavy items like water put on by the Moorings. If you land at STT and catch a 2:30 ferry you will get to the Moorings about 4:30 to 5 pm. That's if everything goes perfect and a 2:30 is even operating. More likely you will end up on a 4:30 ferry and arrive at the Moorings around 6:30. If that's the case boat and chart briefing will be the next day. G

I think they may have a late chart briefing - Times should be listed in the paperwork you received I think. Even if they don't have one, you might be able to have them take care of it for you depending on how busy it is.
After a long day of travel though, everything else will be much easier if you just order the provisions online. I think you'd enjoy yourselves much more if you took care of putting stuff away, the briefing, getting accustomed to the boat and maybe relaxing by the pool..etc with a drink. Going grocery shopping would be the last thing I'd want to deal with.
What I think you will find is that you really could have just done the sleep aboard. It sounds like at best you might only get there 1 to 1.5 hours before you'd have been able to board with a sleep aboard. And this won't impact your ability to do the chart briefing - if you are at the docks by 5, you might be able to get the boat briefing in though.

First time to this Base? Not knowing the locality makes it a little harder, but you are doing the right thing by trying to get insight.
Get the crew to get the menu "set", not srictly by what but by every ingredient in the meals. Divide list into provisions taken with you: Spices, light and compact, hard to get, essential. Suggest these go with you...
Considering taking meats from States: Several threads address vac-pack, frozen, dry ice and packing options(carry on vs checked).
Computerize printed list with check off when packed is essential, otherwise you are on the hook wondering where Walmart isolated.
Printed list with division of contents to crew (Grocery separated in "departments, Alcohol ).
Know what likes/dislikes entire crew has in case substitutions necessary.
(A Detailed packing list for new travelers can help to reduce overpacking, allowing space for provisioning items.) I find this helps having essential items while reducing overpacking.

If I can't be a good example, I'll just have to be a horrible warning.

Thanks for the input.
We are chartering mid week flying in on Wed. So hopefully there will be a little more flexibility. Not the end of the world if we had to do the chart briefing in the morning but was hoping to get off the slip before 10. First time charterer so definitely want to attend this!
ALso - ability to bring in Meats is a non-starter as we can't bring in fresh produce or meats from Canada into the states.
Provisioning will also be made easier as we will be eating all of our dinners on shore! Too good of an opportunity to be travelling without kids and we are taking advantage of the 50% cost savings only paying for 2!
Cheers!
