One of the main reasons I built an airplane is that we are so close to the Bahamas I wanted to be able to fly there on a regular basis. This is our first trip in the new plane. A couple of trips in a 172 but this is the trip that paid off all the hard work.
Three of us from Sanford decided on a three day weekend in the Abacos. Hope Town is a great destination so Marsh harbour is the airport.
Left Friday morning with a strong cold front on our tails and a little low coverage.
Clouds built along the coast but below our 9k' flight
South shore of Grand Bahamas
Approach into Marsh Harbour
MYAM Marsh Harbour airport has a new tower and passenger terminal.
However they are having some fire escape issues and the two have been sitting unused and empty for some time. No scheduled opening date yet. Oh and the left strip is the old runway that is now the taxiway. Probably 15-20 kts crosswind on landing.
