We were relieved to see that they had unpacked <a href=\"https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/2026\/07\/01\/the-flying-pig-and-yellow-store-staniel-cay-the-exuma-islands-the-bahamas\/\">yesterday&#8217;s shipment<\/a> and had everything in stock that we&#8217;d hoped to buy. After shopping, we went back to Kosmos. Christi unpacked the groceries. Eric and Keith picked up their D &amp; D gear and were right back out the door. They went over to <a href=\"https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/2026\/06\/26\/having-fun-with-friends-in-big-majors-exuma-islands-the-bahamas\/\">March Dragon<\/a> for a <a href=\"https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/2025\/12\/20\/introduction-to-dungeons-dragons-dd\/\">D &amp; D<\/a> session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The anchorage got <a href=\"https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/2026\/07\/01\/the-flying-pig-and-yellow-store-staniel-cay-the-exuma-islands-the-bahamas\/\">rollier as the day went on<\/a> and we all became increasingly more lethargic. It was a quiet evening. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Sunday, it was rolly again. We were lethargic and had a mellow day. Keith went to a sand bar with Tiki Tour in the early afternoon. There were still a lot of Nordhavns in the anchorage, and in evening, Eric and Christi went over to <a href=\"https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/2026\/06\/29\/keiths-birthday-party-in-big-major-the-exuma-islands-the-bahamas\/\">Na\u2019Vana <\/a>for a Nordhavn happy hour.

Our friends on <a href=\"https:\/\/kosmos.liveflux.net\/blog\/2026\/06\/21\/rocky-point-to-blackpoint-exuma-islands-the-bahamas\/\">Algonquin<\/a> had arrived in the anchorage shortly before the gathering began, and it was nice to see them again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dawn on Saturday, March 14 This morning, Eric made French toast for breakfast.\u00a0Since our attempts at buying groceries yesterday failed, we tried again today.
