Bahamas Provisions

May 14th 2025

Greg reappeared on the dinghy dock this morning like a provisioning Santa Claus, arms piled high with packages from an early pickup. His return signaled the start of a serious undertaking: the first of three or four major provision runs for the impending Bahamas adventure.

Their first stop was Aldi, and the mission began with the intensity of a game show. “It was like ‘Supermarket Sweep,’ y’all remember that show?” Brandy recounted later, laughing. They tore through the aisles, filling carts with a joyful, chaotic abandon. From there, it was straight to the propane store, adding essential fuel to their growing hoard. By the time they loaded everything, they had so much stuff they had to reluctantly skip Walmart, a true testament to the sheer volume.

Four sweaty dinghy trips back and forth to the Chasing Destiny later, and the first massive load of provisions was finally onboard. The boat was officially starting to feel like a floating pantry. Tomorrow, they knew, would be another big day of conquering grocery aisles and ferrying supplies, all in preparation for those clear Bahamian waters.
