You disappoint me. I was waiting for Skip to do a spreadsheet and
shopping
list of everything recommended, then buy it all and watch his boat sink
from
the excess weight. Boo hoo. I was going to sell him all the excess junk
we
hauled around for 3 years.

LOL!!

Well, then, how about a list of what *not* to buy?? Yours should be a good
reference point, I'd expect.

That said, I'm aware of the relative availability of 'stuff' in the
Caribbean in general. However, I'd rather fix something that breaks than
hobble to someplace to have someone else do it, if I'm able and equipped. I
really don't want to carry more than I need, but, for example, a spare
starter and alternator and injectors + pump seems worthwhile, along with the
water pump parts and belts and the usual consumables.

I'd be very nervous without filters and a few other things, as well...

So, your comments on what you never used in 3 years would be welcome - as
have been the comments preceding! - thank you all, and keep them coming...

Skip, full survey on 16Feb

PS how's the rebuild coming?

"And then again, when you sit at the helm of your little ship on a clear
night, and gaze at the countless stars overhead, and realize that you are
quite alone on a great, wide sea, it is apt to occur to you that in the
general scheme of things you are merely an insignificant speck on the
surface of the ocean; and are not nearly so important or as self-sufficient
as you thought you were. Which is an exceedingly wholesome thought, and one
that may effect a permanent change in your deportment that will be greatly
appreciated by your friends."- James S. Pitkin
