There has been lots of issues with mail and freighter traffic not making its way to the Exuma islands as of late. At Sampson, we found the marina out of diesel and most groceries as they hadn't seen a supply boat in weeks. Reports were that further down island most locations were out of gas and we heard on the radio that Blackpoint settlement's supply boat did not arrive as expected. So when we arrived at Staniel and heard the Pink and Blue stores were both fully stocked, having received supplies the day before, we were excited.
On the walk over we bumped into several cruisers carrying bags and bags of groceries. This caused us some concern as the stores are not that big. Once we arrived our concerns abated as we found lettuce, tomato, onions, bananas, oranges and even eggplant, squash and broccoli. Fresh fruits and veggies - HEAVEN! Dave even spyed some - you guessed it - ice cream in the freezer of the blue store. The clerk offered us plastic spoons which sealed the deal and we enjoyed ice cream on the walk back to the dinghy.

Just think how simple your provisioning could be......ice cream, ice cream, nothing but ice cream :-)
Although, Murphy says, "don't forget the dog treats!"
