Thursday, April 3 — In the morning, Eric hitched a ride with two other cruisers Taylor and Brenda<\/a>, to make a bakery run. They dinghied 1\/2 mile north to a road, then walked another mile to Alnor\u2019s Bake shop. Here were some photos from the walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alnor’s was more of a patisserie (dessert bakery) than a boulangerie (savory bakery), and Eric stocked up on treats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The closest to savory was the loaf of coconut bread, which looked like a loaf of white bread. It was only slightly sweetened and had only a hint of coconut flavor, and could have been easily mistaken for plain white. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also bought Bahamian cakes, which the baker told Eric was a type of coffee cake. Texture-wise, they were a cross between a buttermilk biscuit and a fluffy cookie. They were also only slightly sweet, and they had a strong ginger flavor — like a super fluffy gingerbread cookie with less sugar. They were a little bit dry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Eric bought pineapple tarts and coconut tarts (the tarts looked the same except for the jam color). These were made with the Bahamian cake dough and had a layer of the respective jams. This added to both the moisture and sweetness, making it a bona-fide dessert item. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

He also bought something that looked like a big, fluffy empenada<\/a>, and he couldn’t remember its name. The dough was the same as the coconut loaf and the filling was the same as the coconut tart. So it was still a dessert item, but not as sweet as the tarts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In addition, he bought banana bread, pound cake, chocolate chip cookies and oatmeal cookies.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the afternoon, Eric and Keith went to one of the boats for a D & D session. In the evening was another beach gathering onshore. This time, all three of us went. Sadly, the sunset was blocked by a big cloud, but it did make for a neat lighting effect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It started raining as we were getting ready to call it a night, and we were happy that Komos got a wash down. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
