Sounds like mighty good scoops. Especially if you have a few lusty sailing folks on board.
We used to do the partial provisioning with moorings or sunsail, when we went with large crews. ( some dinners on board, some ashore, all provisions delivered to the boat )
Now, with just Erica and I, we are BB'ing with Conch, We decided , well, Erica decided, she did not want to cook any dinners on board....we would have only breakfasts and snacks on board. Well, and Boat drinks.
So we appropriate one of Conchs dock barrows, look like a wheel barrow, and push it up to Riteway . We fill it up with provisions for two people, breakfast, lunches, snacks, and beer and ice, The run like the dickens back to Conch , in between breaks in the very busy traffic. And, if we run low on anything, we can pick it up when sailing the islands. We immediately stow all of the provisions and ice on board.
with a bunch of people, not sure how much it would be for the grocery store to fill your order, and then load up a taxi. Sometimes, they will deliver it to the docks .
With just two of us, we do an early boarding ( sleep aboard) 4:40 pm, and load up the provisions, and then fill up the water tanks, and spend quite a bit of time going thru our own systems, and riigging , etc check list. We want the 36i, all set to go, after all of the chart brief, and the systems brief are concluded. By being prepared, we hope to get out of the docks fairly early, the next day, and be on our way.
Not sure how many people that you want to send to the store, but sometimes that can get to be a large group goat rope, with people hasseling over what to buy, different tastes, and hates, and spend a bloody day at the store.
We would have a pre cruise meeting before we even left home, and write out a list of what we need, and then email it, and / or just send a couple of people to fill up the baskets or to pick it up. The rest can be getting the boat ready, and learning the systems , etc. Trust me, that shop by a full crew committee at the store, can have the jolly roger being hoisted and the guns run out . Just FYI.
Also, we would have a pre cruise meeting as to itinerarys, weather, what to bring, snorkeling sites, fun bars and restaurants, beaches, hiking, shopiing, music, dancing, . Plus mess duty, dishes, helm and crew watches, sailing crew duties, dinghy captains, and cleaning duties , anchoring, and mooring pick ups, etc.
When we had larger crews, we would have a galley and cooking duty list . It would alternate by couples . If the the crew went out to dinner, the couple who was supposed to cook on dinner out night, just slid into the next nights galley duty. No free lunch, cooking duty was shared equally.
Just FYI,

Sams club has good bacon that we used to travel with. 72 count for about $10. Did not need refrigeration until opened. Not sure I would eat this full time, but great for trips.

We've always ordered online; both with Bobby's and RiteWay. Good experience with both at a variety of bases (Voyage/Moorings/DYC).
Don't forget about Tico's for booze. They have better selection and pricing than RiteWay and will deliver to Scrub for free.
We too will be chartering with DYC at Scrub in May. As we've always done a night at Scrub in the past, I'm looking forward to their change of venue.
It'll definitely put us out of sync with the regular counterclockwise beach bar migration.

My group will be chartering with DYC out of Scrub this May also. I emailed the base to inquire about provisioning through the base, as I have an understanding that it is possible to do so. However, they haven’t had any provisioning lists available online since moving operations to that location. This is the response I received from DYC on 12/29/18: “I am happy to know you will be chartering with us in May. As we have moved to Scrub Island, we are working on a new provisioning list that will be available within the next weeks. I will revert to you as soon as it is settled. For now, we still work with the RiteWay Supermarket. You can place an order on line with them also https://www.rtwbvi.com/. They will deliver at Scrub Island.”

The market that provides "free taxi service" to and from the Wickhams Cay II dock area is One Mart. The free offer was made to us Saturday Jan 19th while we were waiting to get the ok to board our charter boat.
On Saturday January 19th we received most of our provision order from Riteway for the bulky and non perishable items. Can't comment on prices online versus prices at the store. Most of the items we pre ordered were provided, some substitutions on other items were made (like four 5 pound bags of charcoal instead of two 10 pound bag of charcoal) and items not available were not charged. The preorder came with a cash register receipt. Delivery guy missed one box that he thought was in Riteway's refrigerator cooler. He came back 7:00 am Sunday morning with the refrigerated items.

At Road Harbour there is a Cash and Carry next to Riteway. We start with C&C as they have bulk items and then go next door to Riteway to top it off. One of those 2 had those seltzers (I think white claw) you mention by the case. We also saw them at Leverick. Moorings online (or any other place) is great for the heavier stuff but since I had 5 guys we just did it ourselves last month. Ticos closes earlier so we had to get elsewhere.
If it helps here is my list
Provisioning Ice (Cooler and freezer) – 5 bags (fill boat freezer with 3) Water – 5 Cases of Bottled and 8 Gallon Jugs Soda – Coke, Diet Coke, Ginger Ale Juice – Orange, Cranberry, Guava, Pineapple (plastic and boxes) Beer (cases of cans) - Light Beer, IPA Liquor- Vodka, Spiced Rum, Gin, Bourbon _________________ Coffee Coffee Filters (HOME) Milk (fridge and non perishable) Potato Chips Eggs Butter Bagged frozen vegetables Sliced Potatoes Sausage Bacon Chips & Salsa BBQ Sauce Lettuce Tomato Pretzels Ketchup Mustard Mayonaise Salt & Pepper (HOME) Sugar (HOME) Spices (HOME) Aluminum Foil (HOME) Plasticware (HOME) Paper Towels Paper Napkins Paper Plates Gallon Ziploc Bags Trash Bags - Kitchen Snacks Hand Sanitizer Cereal Red Solo Cups (Big) English Muffins Eggs Butter Fruit Bug Spray Chlorox Wipes (3 pack) Chlorox Bleach (Small) Cleaning Pads (HOME) Bread Deli Meats & Cheeses Cheese & Crackers Hamburger Chicken Red & White Wine Olive Oil

Bailau - a very specific question for you...do you know if the C&C has the Ceres 1 Litre cartons of juice? We usually get 30 orange and 30 pineapple from Riteway for our painkillers...I wonder if we are being idiots and should be going next door?!
Thanks! Christo- Yes, we bought them there ourselves along with the nutmeg and Coco Lopez for our PKs. The only thing either store didn't have was spiced rum and as I mentioned Ticos was closed. Riteway had the gallon jugs of water which C&C didnt. I want to go on your boat next time as that is a lot of painkillers...:) Funny story on your latter thought. For years I had just told the crew to go to Riteway and get what we need in total or to supplement the online ordering of the heavy items (e.g. water and beer) while I prepped boat. In October 18 we didn't order online and the ladies went to what I thought Riteway and came back with all these package items (3 pack wipes, case of paper towels etc) like you would see at a Costco in the states and the bill was significantly cheaper than previous bills. I asked the wife where she went and she said a place called "C&C". So in Feb 19 I decided to go over for myself as I had never been there. They literally share the same warehouse building. In the future we are going to start at C&C and fill in with Riteway since we get boat in evening. I also assume you know the official PK recipe is 2 parts OJ, 1 part Pineapple, 1 part Coco Lopez and 2 parts of your favorite rum so you need less pineapple especially as some will drink your OJ for breakfast. I ended up with extra pineapple this trip due to that. Hope this helps, Christo Best, Rob
