    Shoppin’n’stocking

    Provisioning, part 1

    Sunday 17 Nov, HHN day 37: All day supermarket shopping & stocking
    If yesterday was the warm up to our stocking-up shopping, today we are in full swing. We head to Weis supermarket in Upper Marlborough only to find it is actually a small Weis. So trying to subconsciously avoid shopping we
    instead drive another 30 minutes to Edgewater and a bigger Weis. And there we stay for the next 4 hours, with a brief interlude midway to check out and empty our first of two very fully trolleys. The intention was to follow Weis with a Giant supermarket shop, but with the car already full and both of us had-enough of shopping, we head back to Cloudy where Oana starts the task of stowing everything. It’s a skill she has. Only she can stow 2 large supermarket trolley loads into just 1 or 2 cupboards!

    Needless to say, this was our day. Tomorrow will be a critical day for the PC. Either they will have fixed it or… well, let’s leave the “or” till tomorrow.

About us

About us

Sail Cloudy Bay

Hi there! We are Glen & Oana, restless spirits with travel and adventure in our hearts. In mid-2016 we decided to put an end to our working days, and travel the world. And what better way to do it, if not sailing! We are aspiring to complete a circumnavigation, and this is our blog where we try to keep a record of our adventures. We live on s/v Cloudy Bay (and sometimes in Bucharest), have a long list of places to sail to, and we like coffee and good cocktails.

Treat us to a coffee
