Scott, bag them and keep them so you don't need them ;-) We don't have them and we're in the same water that you'll be on "this side". OTOH as the guy says somewhere in some port someone will put an idea into your head and the plans will be changed. We can't keep track of where we are now so planning too far ahead is only a mental exercise. OTOH, don't throw away spares or other boat gear that you will one day need if not for you then a fellow boaters. I have a stock of belts that is second only to a NAPA store. I have never used one of them but they sure do light up a guys face when you come up with one that will put him back in motion is a remote anchorage :-) Sharing resources is part of the cruising/passagmaking. Those can be anything from notes, to suggestions, to parts, to help. It makes the camaraderie of cruising all the better, IMHO. BTW, welcome to the world of living aboard. As soon as you leave your home dock you'll take another giant step. Good on ya, mon:_) Dave & Nancy Swan Song Roughwater 58 Caribbean Cruise '07
