I just returned from a trip to the islands in my Arrow.
19.6 tach hours round trip.
Atlantic crossing uneventful. I rented a life raft from KFPR for $25/day.
Bought 2 life jackets from Academy prior to departure, along with a $300
406mhz PLB from Amazon.
Paid $50 immigration fee for 2 people at MYAT.
Paid the expected $29 departure tax per person after gassing up
at Marsh Harbour (MYAM).
When departing Treasure Cay, smoke was covering the whole airport
from locals clearing the brush. Could not even see the terminal from
the plane. Waited for wind to clear it.
EAFIS website is a complete disaster. Did not send email confirmation
of manifests, accept US as USA, lost manifests in progress, etc.
CBP officers very friendly.
Beautiful views enroute - worth doing at least once in your life. Here's
a video of some of the highlights:
