Days 110 & 111: Our Anniversary

Big Majors, Exumas, Bahamas (anchored)

May 5 & 6, 2022

Sunset on Cinco de Mayo

We have had a couple of days of very calm water and very low wind. The water is so clear we can see our anchor and chain. Low wind means it’s kinda warm at night but we have been able to run our fan which helps.

We woke up determined to get a lot done today. Unfortunately I managed to pull a muscle in my side (how does this even happen??). We went to shore to provision and get ice before the mega yacht folks grabbed everything.

Provisioning today

We had hoped to drop off our laundry but the laundry lady was out today. John wound up dropping the groceries, ice, and me off at Lailia and going back to the liquormat to get stuff in the dryer. The liquormat concept is a really good one and might could be franchised!

Entrepreneur of the decade

We celebrated our 33rd wedding anniversary with dinner at Staniel Cay. It’s odd how time moves both quickly and slowly: we’ve been together forever and not long enough simultaneously. I can’t imagine loving living on Lailia with anyone else, for sure.

Our alternator arrived at the freight forwarder in Ft. Lauderdale today. We are hoping we’ll have it on Sunday. Depending on the wind we will be able to move to a different anchorage in the Land and Sea Park early next week.

  1. Happy Anniversary you two! We love you and that you were able to live out a dream. Hope your side heals quickly. That is definitely not fun.
