We would be happy to tell you more..We should probably take this off list 
and e-mail directly..Our longest trip was 28 days and we ended that with 
enough supplies to have gone another week. Getting ready for a trip to 
Ontario right now but after we get there I will go into more detail on what 
we have found so far..Unfortunately we are off the boat right now because of 
all the work we are doing and Halifax is no place to live aboard in the 
winter..As you will see later the work we are doing in the v birth would 
have been difficult while living aboard..Living on a A30 is much more 
enjoyable than living in a small apartment..We would not consider a larger 
boat..Will go into the reasons later 
Bye for now
