The NW wind has made the large harbor here at Thompson Bay choppy at times but we have still been able to get to shore both yesterday and today. Yesterday we dinghied into the cove with Dee & Ron and Jean & Michael and walked nearly a mile to Sou’ Side for lunch, then stopped at Hillside Food Supply for groceries. We were grateful that the stock at Hillside was much better than that at Exuma Market in George Town, where the produce section is bare at times. Early this morning we dinghied back to the cove and walked the mile to the farmers market. Once again I was pleased with my purchases—callaloo (a green similar to spinach), arugula, scallions, coconut tart, eggs, local honey, and sapodillas. I also tried a few things that were new to me—fever grass (similar to lemon grass), and Malaysian apples. Early this afternoon I baked a batch of brownies. I baked the first four brownies in the solar oven—that is all that will fit at one time—but clouds rolled in so I baked the rest in the propane oven. It is so cool here right now that we didn’t mind the extra heat in the cabin from the oven.
