The Surprising Cost of Food in the Bahamas! [Catamaran Sailing] 

Thank you! Yes, the water has been amazing 🤩

Makes you appreciate the sneaky Tambi and Molly sighting!!!

I wondered if anyone would notice them… 😆

@@SaltyEscape Only the lucky ones!!

Thanks Jackie! I hadn’t seen the GhostBusters emblem in a very long time. Lol

lol Ella knew we wouldn’t buy those bottles. They generate too much trash that we have to carry until there’s a place we can get rid of it. She just got mixed messages when we we’re looking at the prices. BTW we think the price was per bottle not 1.89 for the 8 pack.

Me too! The cost of food in the Bahamas has been unpredictably different from island to island.

@@SaltyEscape i figured it would be lower for most things but understand the higher cost of American imported foods

It feels like 80% is imported from the US and 20% from the UK (Bahamas is a UK territory). The UK items seem to be cheaper which is weird because it’s a longer shipping route. Very little local stuff.

Thanks Frank, the prices became dramatically worse the further south we go.

Hi Douglas, yes, we have seen some areas where supply has run out. In particular we have found diesel and gasoline were sold out in some locations further south. All of our systems have been working great! The only issue that we have had is related to our generator and gunk in the tank as well as some unknown source of water ingress into the tank. I suspect it’s the deck fitting. We run our diesel generator out of a Jerry can at this point until we get back to the states where we can work on it. Once we decided to embrace using the jerrycan, we haven’t had any issues. we have found our solar and battery bank to be almost perfect size for our level of consumption. we run our generator every 2 to 3 days to make water and otherwise the solar heat is up with everything we need. Our DIY lithium batteries have been great! Our overall renovation is far from complete but I’m able to work on things a little at a time. As far as all the systems they we have installed, we have beyond pleased. We should make a dedicated video about this topic. Cheers, Corey

100% agree. Publix he is the last place we wanted to provision, but we had lack of options in the north end of Lake worth.

Kroger delivery is available in north lake worth now. No stores, delivered in refrigerated truck.

😊 Yes, we know. The title is a bit over dramatic. And this was a year ago.

Loved this! 😊

Yeah we’re aware that they cut them when they bag them, but we usually buy whole carrots 🥕 in a bunch. I think these ones in Spanish wells are a different variety. 🤷‍♂️

Haha. Political incorrectness is sometimes refreshing. Thanks. 😊
