First night on board. what did you wish you'd packed?

[Lmcgrath87]

So I know we have touched on this is a previous thread, but Sunday is our first night aboard and we are only staying the one night we won't be packing much, so what do you wish you had thought of on that first night on your boat?

 

(We have a bottle of wild turkey, so no corkscrew required!)

Completely the opposite for us - first night aboard and wondering what we shouldn't have packed as we tried to find space to sit, eat and sleep amongst the mountains of boxes full of stuff we absolutely couldn't live without engulfed our boat. It all seemed very reasonable and felt quite prudent when the decisions were being made, but that pile if boxes in the corner of the room in a house looks very very different aboard a narrowboat

Dish soap for washing up the next morning after your first Breakfast on board
