Provisioning your boat
Being out in the islands is great, but it does make it difficult to take a quick trip to the shops to collect extra provisions. Planning and organization are critical to ensuring that your holiday is as enjoyable as it should be.
Here are a few tips if you have not been on a sailing holiday before:
• Please ensure all crew are ready to go at your
prearranged briefing time of 8.00am
• All shopping must be completed by this time
• Choose drinks in crushable cans, plastic bottles
and tetra packs
• Avoid bulky and hazardous glass containers
(wine, spirit bottles excepted)
