Wayne, nice pics. One question though. Why did you choose a slow boat
as
your mode of transportation. You could have done a low fly by in a
plane
and gotten some great shots out the plane window. ;-)

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!

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!

Wrecked twin engine C-46 aircraft at Norman's Cay, crashed landed in
the water by drug smugglers in 1980.

Is the small resort on Norman's up and running again?

Sorry, Bill. I was posting to Wayne about the drug plane going down,
and accidentally used your post as a catalyst.

No thanks.
You know the trip under discussion is one of ten hours. How fancy do
you really need it?

That's our grandest boater and outdoorsman! Personally, I don't like
hotels. Boring, plain, predictable. But then again, that's how some
folks like their lives.

Yes, and I've never had a hotel room with 360 degree water views that
I could launch a dinghy from, and a lot of the places we go don't even
have guest cottages let alone a decent hotel.

Wayne, that's another advantage i can see about your boat. The
accomodations are as nice as you want them to be.

always.
