How many tubes of toothpaste do you need on a SAGA 43?

That and many other burning details are very much on our minds as we count down the last week toward our departure.  Last evening Brenda and I headed out to Pandora, here in Essex, to put yet another load of “stuff” aboard.   I am disappointed that this photo doesn’t do justice to the quantity of things that we have brought aboard.

As is always the case, I tried to make everything aboard Pandora the most “fun” for Brenda so I combined it with “happy hour”.   Pretty tricky, yes?  Remember, “when Momma be happy, everyone be happy”.

Does Brenda look happy, glass of wine in hand,  surrounded by all the rubble?  While I stowed each item she logged it into the computer on location and quantity.  This little pile is just one of many that have graced the cabin sole of Pandora over the last few weeks.  We have been buying and stowing for weeks, no make that months.  We have been logging in each item as we stow it and the total now, of cataloged items only and not counting all of the hundreds of other many items aboard, stands at just under 500.  I am sure glad that I raised the waterline by  three inches two years ago.  In case you are wondering, it takes about 1,200 lbs to sink Pandora by about 3/4″ of an inch on the waterline.  So far, plenty of bottom paint still showing.   Fingers crossed that it will stay that way.

Oh yea, we have 8 tubes of toothpaste aboard as of now.   I am sure that you were wondering too.  However, I won’t bore you with the number of cans of soup, tuna, soda…
