Trip to Town

This morning we dinghied three miles to town to check out the Farmers Market and pick up a few things at the store. Since we were going to be in town we took a bag of trash—never miss an opportunity to dump the trash. 

When we are traveling by boat we always try to follow a chart, watching to see that we are in deep enough water. In the Bahamas we can also watch the color of the water—the color changes according to the depth. As we approached a bridge on the way to town we were a little alarmed that the color of the water was the color of sand, which indicates very shallow water. Although we knew it was just a reflection it did cause us to be momentarily alarmed. 

One of the things I bought at the store was a bag of carrots. They will be my next fermentation project. The sauerkraut turned out well, if I do say do myself. 

This afternoon we took another walk on the sandbar with Jean, Michael, Dee, and Ron. We just love it there—it is so beautiful and interesting. 


The bridge we dinghied under on the way to town. Notice the reflection in the water that at first looked like shallow water to us. 



We normally shop at Exuma Market but decided to try the Shop Route Mart today. 



The Farmers Market. Not many vendors there yet but we did buy eggs, arugula, and cucumbers. 



Sauerkraut with the carrots I hope to ferment. I added a few red pepper flakes to the carrots. 




Such interesting sand formations on the sandbar.
