Shopping for departure

Still not sure when we will leave or our route but have started stocking for departure. Ordered meat which we will pay for on Saturday when it comes in on the ferry, but they will keep it in the shop until we go. Also stocked on 'dry' stores (things like pasta, rice, tins and long life milk). There is a shortage of fruit and veg due to cyclone so will be difficult to get those we may have to rely on tins. There are plenty of root veg like Taro but not much greenstuff not even Taro leaf. There is some leafy stuff like spinach which the market lady said was for soup but I am not sure that it would keep well. Yam OK but need to find something else, may be able to get Dutch cabbage which keeps well, local garden cabbage is like pak choy and although very tasty wilts quickly. Ferry arrived and stayed overnight so most of meat order was OK except for beef roast so had to have corned beef instead.
