Provisioning the boat - food

The following boat provisioning list is a work in progress. This is a rough guide for feeding one person for one week, one month and three months. The next trick, of course, is trying to fit all the food on a 30 foot boat, then find it again when the need arises.

This list has been gleaned from books, info on the internet and my personal experience and preferences so far. While near marinas or ports it is quite often cheaper to eat the local food, in South East Asia anyway, than it is to buy, cart, cook, eat and cleanup. When in places like Cocos Keeling Island and the islands off Sumatra it pays to have extra provisions.
