The summer is fast approaching and there is lots to do to get ready to sail. Rigging to do, engines to de-winterize, supplies to buy.. Here is a list of 10 things everyone has lying around their house that we are always in need of...

1. 1. Large Pots, Pans and other cooking utensils- Our cooks can always use some extra tools to use this summer. There is always a need for a new pot, pan, spatula, ladle or anything else used for cooking or preparing food 
   2. Kitchen knives and knife sharpeners 
   3. Utensils- Did you recently get shiny new cutlery? Don't know what to do with the old stuff? Bring it on down! 
   4. Rags - do you have any old clothing that we could use for rags? We'd love them! 
   5. Cleaning supplies! - Sponges, j-cloths, toilet paper, dish soap- we just can't get enough 
   6. Tape - We love all tape: hockey, duct, electrical - you name it, we need it!
   7. Bungee Cord: Do you have a mess of these guys lying around and not securing anything? We can use them for sea stowing supplies! 
   8. Tarps - Did you buy a tarp only to discover that you didn't need it? Is it now just a dust magnet? We'll take great care of it
   9. Baking sheets, Mixing bowls and the like - Do you collect food prep supplies? Are all of your metal bowls encroaching on your personal space? Give them to a good home! 
   10. Garbage Bags - Do you have boxes and boxes of garbage bags at home? Don't know what to do with all of them? Don't worry..we'll fill them up
