Replenishing the Necessities

March 18, 2015
Big Major Spot
Exumas, Bahamas

Another day of beautiful weather. Mark returned from FL and his treatment this afternoon. There was apparently some confusion at the hospital but I did not get details. Tomorrow morning Handleys and the couple who are visiting their boat as well as Ed & Lynn of Constance are heading north to Cambridge & Warwick Wells for a few days then return here to see their guests off on the plane.  We have to have propane which will not be available until Thurs (tomorrow) afternoon so we can not go. We will be here waiting Monday when they return. 

Today we got our fresh water tank filled and both jerry cans. Then we topped off our diesel and got jerry cans of water & gasoline for Handleys. We got to the fuel dock at Staniel Cay and there was a sail boat smaller than ours already there. We waited an hour slowly cruising in circles waiting for it to leave. I can not imagine what took so long. We finally got our turn and all we did only took about 20 minutes. When we got back to Big Major another sail boat had anchored near where we had been. We anchored as close to where we were as possible but it is a little more crowded than before. 

Tomorrow we will try to move to Staniel and anchor near where we will dinghy in to drop off propane tanks then go back late afternoon to pick them up. We hope to be in Black Point Fri, Sat, and Sunday. Then return to Big Major on Monday. 

We are getting tired and are anxious to get home and ready to buy & move to our new place.
