Bahamas...let's plan it

Re: Bahamas...let's plan it

Not sure how all this works as these threads are pretty old! I have a nice 42 foot cat with three double state rooms and jus bought a Commander if anyone is interested in going to the Bahamas I am quite fimilar with the water portion and could put two couples up! Any interest?

Talk about bad timing - we are still on the road on our way back.

Might have taken you up on the offer!

Did the transponder work long enough for the reentry to the USA?


Thanks for asking - Really confusing, worked fine all the way from the Bahamas to Mississippi.
After all the stuff it did on the trip, I don't trust it anymore.


Thankfully I will get to deal with it at home .


Garmin e mail support was useless.

Well in the next month or so if anyone wants to fly to Spanish wells I can provide some interesting boating!

I was just down there a few weeks ago. Really a nice area. We stayed in Gregory Town.

To start a new thread - go to the box on the top left marked site navigation (from the main screen) and click on forums. Choose the forum you want to post in and click on it.
When it opens there will be a box at the top left that say's NEW Thread.


All the old stuff is still pertinent - Old problems become new one's with the many new owners we have now.
 
Re: Bahamas...let's plan it

Departing Treasure Cay the other day they would not allow me access to my plane without searching our luggage. Had the discussion with them (two ladies just doing what they were told to do) That there are no restrictions as to what I can carry on my own plane. They said TSA was down there for a week and instructed them to search every bag entering the tarmac. They said they had not been instructed to confiscate anything for private flights and admitted that they were getting a lot of grief from private airplanes. Suggested only recourse is to send a letter to Nassau.
Never asked if we were going back to the states or on to another island.


Oh yea - before I forget they also patted us down (highlight of my day)


So you have to search my bags, don't know what you are searching for, have been told to leave everything that is in there alone - WHY - Just to piss all of us off?

Gotta love the Bahamas.

Oh and they quietly imposed new parking and tie down fee's on the government owned airports (back in July 17) but many locations just don't have a procedure to actually collect it.


Gotta love the islands!!!!

Like Lonnie says about the islands...”nothing ever works, but everything works out.”
Good sentiment but a difficult existence (for a type A New Yawker!). :D

No...

Waiting for us to do that :D

However I did speak to a pilot who flies there very often from Miami. He said there are 0 issues usually.
