Back to the original question: I have visited GTC a number of times and agree it's a great choice. My favorite has become Fernandez Bay Village on Cat Island near the New Bight Airport. Definitely Bahamas laid back with a pretty funky atmosphere (outdoor showers); cottages right on the beach...

They're opening up in stages from the complete shut-down of foreign visitors. Be sure to check with the Bahamian Tourist resources if you plan to go in the near future.

When I would fly there frequently, I had a C182 of the vintage that was not well protected at the factory. As soon as I returned, I went to my mechanic and we washed the airplane thoroughly. He then sprayed the inside of the wings with a corrosion inhibitor ( I don't remember the name). Seemed...

The resources we have available to us now compared to when I started going to the Islands 30+years ago are mind-boggling.The web site listed above from the Bahamas Tourist site shows the resorts which give the Private Pilot Discount. Pretty much all of them can be found on YouTube with a...

I'm a little late to this party, but thought I'd add a comment seconding the "no all-inclusive" position. To me, the charm of the Islands is personified by the small Out Island resorts such as you find on Eleuthera, Cat Island, Long Island, etc. You could pick a centrally located stop such as...

I have a King KI-825; the primary needle is an HSI driven by the #1 unit; there is also an RMI-type needle that points to the waypoint set in unit #2. So yes, it would function like an ADF.

Actually, I'm not suggesting anything. You suggested carrying 300,000 vs 1mill and I simply pointed out that that portion of the cover can be increased for little premium. If someone did that and had an accident involving injury to persons or property outside the airplane as well as passengers...

Only problem is this ignores the potential for damage to persons or property outside the aircraft. Midairs do happen and, while you may not be around to worry about it, your heirs will have to deal with the result. In any event, increasing the non-passenger coverage is not expensive, thus no...
