Thanks dick lol way to make me feel better about it. We will talk about this as the sand bar lol

Actually it was only one that was going for a test flight. I have never heard of problems with the commercial flights but the water around the island is littered with heavily loaded planes that were flying night with their lights off and did not radio for help. Perhaps the pilots had a little too much of their product?

We saw the smoke plume from one of them on our first day there while we were cruising up the channel to North Bimini.

Just going over some other things and realized Chub Cay is still closed from Matthew with the financial trouble that island has had I wonder is they will reopen. That could make future Exuma trips a struggle with vessels that have 75 gallon fuel tanks or less.

 

[Bruce]

I underatand Chub has had issues with bankruptcy and fuel supply for years. Hopefully that situation will improve .

 

[Bruce]

Just to be clear, issues at Chub Cay do not in any way effect our Bimini plans.

Guys. Last thing I want to hear is planes going down Booked my wife and kids on a flight to Bimini. Don't tell me I need to switch to a ferry now Lol

 

[Bruce]

@Drift Away, @Betik, @Amar Nanduri I have never heard of a Bimini commercial flight having issues. Despite that I prefer to know my family is safely on the boat.

This crash did happen while we were in Bimini in 2016. Several of us saw the smoke some saw the bodies being transported. It was widely believed the plane was being repaired. http://www.tribune242.com/news/2016/jun/20/breaking-news-two-dead-bimini-plane-crash/

I have debated some many times back and forth about this. I always reach the same conclusion. How can I trade an uncertainty ( commercial flight) with a guaranteed disaster (Betik on his first crossing).....

Let see the plan is fly in, sail out.
