Default Workin' in the Bahamas

Yeah, I couldn't believe it either but there I was at Bootle Bay, near the west end of Grand Bahama island, with a hammer in one hand and a piece of siding in the other. Sweaty, dirty, and hot. The only salvation being a delicious ocean breeze which never stopped, thankfully.

My brother-in-law bought some beachfront property with access to the boat canal and is building a dock/guest house for future fishing trips and a getaway location for family and friends.

I put in my 16 hrs of work for Tommy and earned my right to visit anytime! Four hours in the RV from my home base make this a fantastic flying destination.

Sounds like you had a great time, and many more to come.

Jealous, I am.

I'm very handy with a hammer. Let me know when I can help.
I built my wife a 4 stall barn and a 24' wrap-around enclosed deck for our house.

I'm < 2 RV hours away.

Bruce; You are the man! Might need some advice on my wing when I get back from deployment!

Looks like a great adventure!

Default We need more information

Bruce,

I?ve been there once (flew commercial) and I have always wanted to go back. Either by sail or wings. How was the flight? How about customs?

Give us some more detail. Please.

Thanks,
