A month away

Hubbs is scheduled to go underway for a month on Friday to southern California. We just got back from camping in southern Utah and a Vegas weekend. I needed to go to the grocery store and I got inspired to pick up a few things for his "voyage." Totally surprised him with a bag of goodies when he got home from work. It was my last day of summer break....I know, how can school start in July?!?!
Wipes (face and butt) in case they secure the showers (shut them down). Gummy vitamins because if they're sour and taste like candy, they're more likely to be eaten. Fiber gummies and dried prunes to combat the ship food. Omega-3s because on the island, we eat a lot of good fish...on the boat, I think fish is probably like getting the fishwich at McDonald's...
A battle roll ( we have a running joke about the single wrapped Scott roll) because you never want to be without TP...
2 spray sunscreens so that he can ask one of the guys he's with to sunscreen his back without having to rub it in...and an extra in case someone forgot to pack sunscreen. You really don't want to get skin cancer.
Yummy goodies he loves from home: li hing mangos and li hing sour hula keiki. Granola bars because that stuff they call food on the ship sounds like anything but...
Those fruit squeezy things they make for little kids to prevent scurvey.
Last but not least bacon jerky and chez-it's as creature comforts.
