Default Bahamas - Cat Island
We got officially engaged in the RV-8 at 9500' in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle while on our way to Cat Island, Bahamas where we got married. After 6 trips to Florida (from Rockford, IL) and trips to a bunch of other places, the Bahamas is the place to go.......it is God's gift to private aviation. Ignore the main tourist traps (Grand Bahama, Freeport, etc) and go to the out islands. We stayed at Fernandez Bay Village on Cat and I would highly recommend it. Flying over the Exumas is a must.....the most beautiful aerial scenery in the world. Also landed on Long Island for fuel. Can't wait to go back. See the pic's!

Congratulations! Looks like a great trip too

Almost afraid to ask, but why the blue masking tape N# in addition to the painted one?

Default 12" N number
You need to have a 12" tall N number if you go outside the country.

Default Congratulations man!
That looks like a WONDERFUL trip! Especially considering the weather here in the midwest right now.

I too am quite jelous!

I'm building an 8 just up the road from you in East Troy, WI, and am about to get hitched as well!

Hopefully flying this summer, but the wedding will come before the RV is done so there'll be no duplicating your event.

Hope to bump into you and your lovely bride one day and pick your brain about trip planning from here to the Bahama's.

That kind of travel is really one of the big reasons for building.

Have fun and stay safe!
