Reefs, Wrecks, Caves and Mermaids
"Don White" wrote in message ... That's one of the very reasons that when I fly I always will request a back seat. I've never heard of a plane backing into a mountain. I'm with you there. If my plane crashes into a mountain, I don't want to miss one second of it. |

Capt. Bill There is McDuff's Restaurant/Norman's Cay Beach Club on the west side near the middle of the air strip: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/8246950 We ate at McDuff's twice, once going south and again coming back. The food is good and they have a few rental beach cottages. We anchored near here, took the dinghy across to the old dock, and then walked up the road to the air strip: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/941075- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Yeah, that's it. It was closed for a while. Capt. Bill |

When I'm in port I like all the comforts (and toys) of home. You really need something like a trawler for that. Or a nice hotel room. |

You could have done a low fly by in a plane and gotten some great shots out the plane window. ;-) Wayne.B wrote: If you can figure out how to get pictures of coral reefs, fish and caves from a plane window, I'd like to buy that camera. :-) No problem. I'll tell the Air Force you're interested in one of their spy jobs they are decommissioning with budget cuts I prefer the up-close look myself. No airplane will ever be able to back up slowly while you're tracking a big lobster! FB- Doug King That's one of the very reasons that when I fly I always will request a back seat. I've never heard of a plane backing into a mountain. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Watched most of a documentary show on salvaging a big 747. Seems that the 'black box' (cockpit voice recorder) is installed near the tail section because that's where the engineers feel it has the best chance of surviving. My thoughts exactly! |

But then again, that's how some folks like their lives. |
