Provisioning

Somewhere in the middle of Van Isle, John and I found out we had been granted a positive LMO, providing us permission to get a work visa in Canada. The rest of the race we fought to focus on racing, anxious to get home and start our next adventure. We returned to Seattle the night of Sunday, June 19th and set our ETD as Sunday, June 26th. That gave us 6 days to get ourselves and our boat ready to leave Seattle indefinitely, navigate up the coast, and live in a remote part of the world. Needless to say, those 6 days were somewhat stressful...

But I kept a (3-page long) list of 'to do's' and 'to buy's', and one by one we scratched items off that list. Mostly we bought food, supplies, tools, and boat parts that we might need one day, anticipating the enormously high prices to buy things and have them shipped to Bella Bella.

I didn't document the week very well (something to do with that somewhat stressful thing) but I did manage to snap a picture part way through organizing some of our provisionings. This is about half of the non-perishables I managed to fit into those two lockers. We are set on canned beans and ketchup for a long long time...
