Bahamas on short notice

Got a little bored on New Years Eve (Sunday night) in Kansas City and the temperature forecast was freezing or below for the next week so we decided to plan a trip to the Bahamas. It's a little hard to do on a holiday when everything down there is sold out but I managed to find a duplex available at Casuarina Point in the Abacos.

Less than 24 hours later we were in Ft. Lauderdale preparing for our departure to Marsh Harbour Tuesday morning.

Banyans - My favorite FBO and Incredible pilot shop at KFXE



One hour later on Final Approach at Marsh Harbour - MYAM


Sunset on Casuarina Beach - A little different than KC this time of year


Lunch at Pete's Pub & Gallery at Little Harbour - Great food and Island Atmosphere


This guy swam up to watch us eat

6 days later on the way back to Kansas (Hoodies )

Great trip report Andy.
Great little machines we have where you can be in the middle of the country freezing, then 24 hours later, on a nice warm beach in another country.

No airline reservations to make, just an impulsive desire to get out of Dodge and act on it.

Nice Andy, I hope to be able to make the same trip someday!

I was just looking at Bahamas Flying Videos on YouTube yesterday and I feel an adventure coming on! I just need to figure out that water ditching procedure for my slider.
