We had heard how limited and expensive groceries are in the Bahamas, so we provisioned before leaving the marina. We did some final provisioning in Marathon. Here’s our updated provisions list. The rumors turned out to be completely true. A local once told us that the Bahamian way is Kraft dinner and tuna salad with crackers. Fresh produce is difficult to come by. So how did we do? What did we wish we had more of? What meals did we eat on the boat?

Provisioning for The Bahamas
We have had some windy cold weather recently. Sleeping through the night has not been an issue for me, I could fall asleep standing up. Rob frequently gets up throughout the stormy nights to check on our dock lines or to try to tighten a halyard that is slapping against the mast. Working outside on the boat during these windstorms is nearly impossible. Towels, tools, and dog toys fly into the water. I’ve gotten pretty quick at fishing things out with the boat hook. So during Saturday’s storm, we decided to shop for provisions.
