Step 3, Day 1 - Provisioning for our week aboard our classroom, "About Time"

Saturday night, after being introduced to the boat and each other, we sat down in the Galley and came up with a meal plan and then a shopping list, by grocery store department, for the week to come.  We walked about a half mile to a grocery store, broke up the list and went shopping!  We also walked across the parking lot to the liquor store for some other essentials ;-)

With our three carts worth of bagged groceries, we hailed an Uber XL for a ride back to "About Time".  We stowed all of our groceries in the galley, which honestly all seemed to disappear in to so many nooks and crannies.  While the boat lacked in storage in the cabins, there is a surprising amount of storage in the galley/saloon.  We honestly probably could have provisioned for 150 meals instead of the 75 we provisioned for.

For dinner, we walked about 10 minutes to go to a burger place called BRGR STOP.  Glutenous menu of piled high burgers and milkshakes, which were really good.  Unfortunately, the place decided to have a DJ with blaring music starting at about 9pm, which effectively ended our conversation and completely ruined our otherwise good experience.  Why must places do things like that?!

Back to the boat for an early morning trip down the ICW (Intra-Coastal Waterway) to Port Everglades and the open ocean.
