dinghy cruising galley boxes

The two galley boxes alongside each other for the first time. Slightly different heights and widths for various reasons which I won't bore people with. Now all I need is some cruising weather and appropriate tides so that I an sail up to and overnight at Kingsbridge, Southpool Creek and Frogmore Creek.

Ihe cook box is stored on the port side between anchor tray and thwart; 
the extra food box on the starboard side in similar location.

Difficult to believe this is from today, March 1st.
A view out over the Cattedown in Plymouth. The city of Plymouth and Sutton harbour is to the right
behind the white fuel store. The little castle turret on the hill is the Mountbatten area. The island in the middle distance is Drakes Island and beyond it is Cornwall and the Mt. Edgecumbe Country Park. Plymouth Sound is to the left behind Mountbatten.
