In port, we love to catch up with friends who live in our network of island communities. In the long run, we hope to achieve about a 90% subsistant lifestyle. We're trying to solve the starchy carb challenge (not much local bulk). The remaining 10% is composed of exotics, such as chocolate, coffee, eggs and cheeses, wine and spices.
