change. But actually, it is much nicer than you would think. Although the kitchen (galley) is 5 x 3 ft, everything is at my fingertips. The whole place takes 30 minutes to clean (and that's for a deep, thorough clean). It's very 'wee', but well organised. 
As with many wee spaces, as soon as you take stuff out or bring it in, it can look very crowded. Above is what the salon looks like while we're provisioning (getting food).
I've made approximately five trips to the supermarket to do the full stocking of the boat (and believe me, I am so sick of supermarkets!). We now have enough to be self-sufficient for the next 3-5 months. Yes, there will be food in the Bahamas. But, having been to the islands in the Med, we have a rough idea of what to expect at the Bahamaian island stores - some local produce and whatever stores arrive from the supply boat. We'd rather have a bit larger selection. Hence the big provision.
We spent quite a bit of time researching what is needed for 'ship's stores'. How do you eat well when there is no store to go to when you run out of something? There are lots of blogs with recipes and suggestions for how to provision for long trips. We took those and adapted for our taste preferences.
It doesn't stay chaotic for long! This is what the salon looks like when we've put the food away!
