Let the cold beer and tacos flow!

We arrived Cabo San Lucas on Sunday 12/8. A supermercado is one block from the marina where we can reload on the staples.

• All of the meals above were not the only food... snacks such as peanut butter and cheese crackers, cookies, mixed nuts, trail mix and other shelf stable goodies supplemented our eats. We finished up our boxed wine on Thanksgiving day. Note to self, provision more wine. I believe Dave ate an entire jar of peanut butter himself... we almost went through 2 small jars.

• The water tank provided ample drinking water for the two of us. We were very conservative to only use this water for drinking and cooking (and even then we would boil pasta in 1 part sea water/ 1 part fresh). Dishes are washed in sea water. The marina water in Cabo has been through their own treatment system, we have tested it and decided to fill up (but added just a tiny amount of chlorox just in case.) Testing means: I gave Dave a glass of water and he seems fine!

TVP= textured vegetable protein

Boatmeal= Oats, granola, and dried cranberries mixed with powdered milk and water, sprinkled with cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar or brown sugar. Allow to sit for the oats to soften. Served cold or should we say boat temperature. Recipe courtesy atomvoyages

Eggs= powdered, although now if we choose we can find unrefrigerated fresh eggs here in Mexico
