When we saw this plane we were a little concerned that it might have a tough time making the flight back to Long Island, let alone getting off the ground. Then somebody said," hey stupid that's not your charter ", "oh, great", I said, just a little relieved. Stories are somewhat vague as to the history of this plane. Some say it has been here over 24 years, nobody remembers the details. They attempted to move it, but it's dang heavy. Might have been used for drug running. Makes for an interesting conversation piece.
On leaving, First of all, if I've forgotten to thank everyone for this fabulous adventure, forgive me. Lots of people were involved. Kevin graciously provided accommodations and kitchen, James M and Sederal transportation, and boating. And all the guys, goats, chickens and dog at Pleasant Bay Bar for socializing with us. The people of Acklins are the friendliest!
Putting this trip together wasn't easy. Sharie has the contacts, if anyone wants to go.
I tried to post a comment before but it stopped. Anyway, glad you made it back! Thought it was going to be like Tom Hanks in "Castaway" for a moment there. Reminded me of European adventures in 1970, sleeping on decks
