We started our flying day by having to wake up the customs officer @ home & have him come down to the airport! Things seem pretty low key in the Bahamas. We've yet to be asked for aircraft documents.
Today's flight took us from the Bahamas to the Turks and Caicos Islands. The plane hummed along flawlessly burning about 9.5 gph(I run 100 degrees rich of peak exhaust gas temp.) @ 9,500 feet and between 125 &138 mph(our headwind component kept changing). On final I tipped the wing to check out the reef drop-off where we'll dive tomorrow. The light blue is around 50 feet deep and the dark blue is where the "wall" drops off to 4000 feet. Sometimes you can see some big animals cruising along it.
