20 million thoughts

it is incredible, all the thoughts that go into a trip of this
magnitude. imagine going car camping for 2 days with 3 people. all the
stuff you need to take, gear, food, clothes, common things, personal
things... then imagine being somewhere for 2 months without being able
to drive to the store. every fucking thing needs to have been thought
about before. it is amazing. so, as we work together on the boat to get
it ready for the trip and any weather we might encounter, i am asking
questions about provisioning, stuff they like to do in their spare
time, etc. and every time i bring something up tracy tells me to write
it down so i can remind her. it is so much stuff... how many rolls of
toilet paper do 4 people need in 5 months?
you get the picture, it is amazingly complex and involves lists and
discussions...i love it!
