guard against what I call "boat schlep creep". There are certain items that you need to drag back and forth like the lap top, the wife's bag of stuff (hair dryer, favorite brush and the like) the dog and a few others but the key is to have a double set of everything else on board that lives on board. That's clothing, tool, extra books right down to salt and pepper and dog bones. The thing that gets me now is having to go so far to get to some place that I haven't been to a hundred times. Relocating the boat to somewhere else doesn't appeal to me either because Brendon is a maintenance heavy boat and you can't just let her sit somewhere for weeks at a time. Catch up on varnish is no fun.
