I'm sure this is not useful, but may give an idea of what you go through supporting an extended trip (in this case 4 weeks)
Things I forgot to do before I left:
Clean the head tank sensors. I never really had any idea how full it was on this trip.
Replace the batteries in the remote control for the TNT lift.
Things I forgot:
BBQ tools. Doh!
Dinghy fenders and lines
Things that broke or i noticed for the first time:
Front AC unit stopped working (separate thread on that)
water regulator in transom locker started leaking
gel coat has small spider cracks under the transom locker door.
Master head light went out
Depth sounder in the dinghy failed and got replaced
Things that annoyed me:
Stupid speed sensor kept getting clogged so RayMarine tide info was useless.
Runner in salon doesn't go all the way to the edges so carpet there needs cleaning.
No runner under the dinette means constant vacuuming after our three year old eats. I custom cut a plastic sheet todo the job. However didn't meet the Wife Acceptance Factor.
TVs are analog CRT which is now totally useless for OTA TV. Finally motivated to do something about it.
New Additions that went well:
Britta water filter. This plus an in-line filter on the hose plus cycling through tons of water meant we carried way less bottled water than last year.
Total Gallons used? 520.
Vacation on the water? Priceless.
