Clearly, eating well was going to be part of the plan (although some of the provisions she stocked are unappetizing to say the least, such as canned whole chickens). The five-year-plan became a six-year-plan, but they did eventually manage to set sail on the sailboat Receta (recipe, in Spanish), with its dinghy, Snack. They lived in Toronto and in the dark days of winter put together a five-year-plan that would allow them to save enough cash so they could rent their home, put their belongings in storage and head out on the open seas for a year or two (which ends up being two). Have you had one of those days where you fantasized about just jumping on a boat and taking off for the Caribbean for a year or more? In An Embarrassment of Mangoes, Ann Vanderhoof and her husband do just that, but they do a little advance planning first.
