Friday, Jan. 10th was a Bahamian holiday – their
Independence Day. Though school was out,
administrative offices closed, and Batelco closed (I was hoping to get
more $30 data cards), the Laundromat and grocery store were open. Thankfully.
The supply boat arrived Thursday late afternoon and was off loaded Friday
morning. Groceries have to clear Customs too before they reach the shelves. By noon, the grocery store was mobbed. Below are before and after
(the arrival of the supply boat) pics of the grocery store – note the stacks of
empty boxes!

the supply boat arrives once weekly
(usually on Thursdays in Bimini, but this week it was Friday)

no Big Box stores on the King's Highway in Bimini
bus stop in Alice Town, Bimini
Another good weather window has opened up for us, and so
we’ll leave Bimini to head for the Exumas. We hope to bypass Nassau and New
Providence Island, but ultimately that will depend on our stamina as well as
the weather. We’re thinking that we’ll just keep going until we get to the
Exumas, but we may end up anchoring on the banks overnight south of the
Northwest Channel Light.
