Two shopping carts full at "Carrefour"

Today we stock up with "dry-goods" at the humongous grocery-store, Carrefour. "Drygoods" include one whole cart of liquids! 20 5-liter jugs of water, a couple 12-packs of beer, more wine for the Caribbean, 10 liters of juice. We have lists of supplies, of menus multiplied by six weeks, to get us to the Cape Verde Islands, about a week.We plan to sail among the Cape Verdes, another week or two, and then cross over the Atlantic, about 20 more days.

We have a "standard" week-menu with some variations. Like "Oh, it's Monday, must be bacon and beans". Then there's breakfast/lunch sandwich food. How many slices of bread for 40 days? And basics like cooking oil. How much of that a week?? We did manage to forget some items, toilet paper was one.


But we have time to right that at our next stop, our last Canari Island, La Gomera.
