Speaking of which and getting back on topic a belgian chum told me recently that you should work out how much rum and beer you need for the voyage in prospect and then double it. I told him that was nonsense but as it turned out he was right..... we ran out...

Re: What is your best provisioning tip?
Plain Bundy is awful. They are trying to pick up their act by making some better ones, but they have not really got to even Captain Morgan level yet.
Coops.

Re: What is your best provisioning tip?
I agree... Bundy is a fine way to spoil perfectly good Coca Cola....
And as for the not so good Captain Morgan...blech....
I'm rather fond of Buckey Spiced Rum. Very mild spices, almost sweet - a bit like a mild version of those sweet Bourbons you can get....but without the horrid Bourbon flavour...
