As we get ready to cross over to the Bahamas, we share how we prepare for a 3-month cruise on food and drink. We give some first-hand experience on provisioning from our 2021 season cruising the Exuma's. #cruisinglife #liveaboardlife #sailboat #islandhopping #sailingadventur#bahamas #cruising #sailing #boatlife #boatlifestyle

We vacuum pack and freeze for the Bahamas we can pack three months of meat for a family of six in our two freezers. One is a portable, but we don't bother with a fridge we freeze ice in a freezer for a cooler. Though I've got to say this is the most reasonable and realistic provisioning I've ever seen. Canned meats, dry pack goods, and a couple of sweets! Vacuum pack the dry goods too with the instructions and you will be able to carry more by 30%-50%.

You are right about trying to spend money in the small communities in the Bahamas. Years ago, a retired friend was sailing there every winter, in 2000 the cruising permit cost $150. For 2001, the government doubled it to $300. He said he wasn't coming back. He said "what more am I getting for $150 more?". well, he was getting the country.

Thanks Richard, we all live on perceived budget, but how do you put a price on the beauty of this country?

Liking the videos guys ... Just a little tip. Removing labels from can goods bought in the Carribean could save you having nasty cockroach stowaways.. looking forward to more vids..cheers!

We are headed there for a bit. What do the people in the Bahamas typically eat? I find if I just adapt to the locations eating style it goes better. Do they have any produce that is native to the islands? Is the rum local? What do they mix with the rum? Thanks! (That Gatorade might come in handy if you get Ciguatera)

We picked up a Bahamian cookbook. Lots of beans, rice, chicken and fish. Rum was cheap, bring beer and everyone is your friend.

Those non-alcoholic beers have so much sugar, they are like liquid candy-bars.

@UUBrahman Жыл бұрын

Looks great, let's estimate what it cost. Figure $10 per day per person, 90 days, 2 people $20 X 90 = $1,800. That seems high to me, but I have no idea what all those items cost. Bon voyage.

We're trying to do a budget for the three months, we'll post later what it cost us.

Just looked at your provisions video Wow 90% of your food seems to be sugar loaded stuff (drinks like Tang are like 100% sugar) as well as an overload on carb products I guess because I became a diabetic due to excess sugar consumption I am particularly aware of these products Simply put most of the food I saw was pretty unhealthy options!! Sorry but but with all that food your health is going to suffer! I am ignorant but is that what American people eat? Baffles me! Anyway happy cruising and I know you’ll be taking on fresh vegetables and fruit en route so that’s a good thing! Nick

Thanks for feedback, we buy most of our proteins, fruits and vegetables in the Bahamas. The provisions we take with us are more economical in the states. What we showed in our video doesn't reflect a typical meal. Thanks again NevSau.
