Preparing for Ocean Crossing in March

In March, we are going to do the Pacific Puddle Jump crossing where we head across the Pacific Ocean to the South Pacific islands. It's a 20-30 day crossing, then we arrive at remote islands for 3 months or so. When we get to Tahiti, we can resupply, but everything is very expensive due to the fact that it's imported, so we don't want to have to plan on that. We can supplement what we have, but hope to not plan on needing to shop for 10 months until we are somewhere more mainstream.

We have a water desalinater for fresh water, and we collect rainwater. We have 4 propane tanks, use about one per month, will fill them just before we leave. Getting parts to adapt to the French system, can refill in Tahiti. And just bought a little two stroke motorcycle so we can get around the islands!! We will be OK.
