Well T-5 months to go and looking to do posts every now and then to keep the DIF manageable. This month I think I want to focus on Provisioning.

Because we are going to be arriving late and I want to lessen the stress, I am thinking of getting moorings to provision for me and have everything packed, stowed and ready to go.

This will save us a tonne of stress, time which will be at a premium since I will be travelling with my three boys (13,12,10) Wife and Mom.

Question is should I get my Mom and Wife to help with the Meal selection and subsequent provisioning or should I just go for the split provisioning option available through moorings? Seems expensive ($30US/person/day) but then when looking at the prices on the moorings or Riteway sight, Maybe more reasonable than I thought! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />

Has anyone tried the SPlit provisioning/ meal plan through Moorings? What are the thoughts on value, is the extra cost worth having everything planned, bought and stowed? With three teenage boys, are the portions going to be sufficient?

Keep in Mind this will be our second bareboat charter in the BVIs and first time with the kids. We will be chartering in Late June. We are on a Moorings 4000 and planning to sleep aboard the first night. Also we are planning to eat out at a couple of locations (Jumbies Friday BBQ, Wonky Dog, Pirates bite/Coopers.)
