Provisioning is taking on a life of it's own here on Trim. Lori has been working two solid days repackaging, stowing and then cataloging the location. I think we may have over done it a bit, but at least we won't be having to buy expensive French Polynesian groceries.

Life isn't all work and no play. In the evenings and especially on Fridays, many of the cruisers find themselves at Philos for drinks and dancing.

Philos is a wonderful little bar that is owned by a fellow cruiser who has made the Puddle Jump several times. He is a musicain and all around fun guy. Byy 9:00PM, people are sitting in the cobble stone street eating pizza and listening to some great music.
This is a photo of Brian Calvert working really hard at the La Cruz boat show. Brian owns the North American Selene Yachts. He is powering his 48 ft Selene around the world and playing the part as our party platform as we make our way across the Pacific. His boat's name is Furthur...which says everything that you need to know.

His boat is fully equipted with dive compressors, dive boats and underwater video cameras. We will be hanging with Brian a lot as he is our kinda people ;-)
The girl looks a lot like Leslie Almedia eh?...

Provisioning of a sailboat for 9 months is a process. It requires a huge amount of planning, lots of time and a platinum card...OUCH! We are $2000 dollars into it and we haven't even bought fresh produce or alcohol yet!
We bought so much at Costco today that I smashed our Penthouse Party record for number of carts used. We even had to hire a truck to get our food back to the boat.
Tomorrow is alcohol and meats day. Friday will be fresh produce, breads and tortillas.
The really good news is, we found a place that has Japanese Sushi fixen's!!!
