Were you able to notice whether or not there is an small government
installation with a bunch of radars thereon? When I worked there it
was an 'auxilliary air force base', I believe. That's where the Coast
and Geodetic Survey would base us for our work on the island.

Eleuthera is a beautiful island, all the way around. Glad you're
having a good time there. Nice photos too!

Not my photos unfortunately but they give a good sampling of what the
scenery is like. We've been fighting really marginal weather
conditions for the last couple of weeks so good photo ops have been
few and far between.

No, I have not noticed any dedicated radar sites but they could be
hidden away somewhere, or possibly located at one of the three
airstrips on Eleuthera where they would blend in with the other nav
aids.

More likely overgrown with jungle like those Mayan ruins.
John was probably down there when my ship was shelling Culebra.
Weeds have had a lot of time to take over since then.

Hey Turkey!

It was the 1900's when I was there, not the 1700's!

Damn, how old do ya think I am anyway!
