We spent most of our time on the island of New Providence in Nassau. Impressive aquarium at the Atlantis resort, but I prefer swimming with the fishes rather than seeing them through glass. Everything felt too crowded and commercialized so we left that island pretty soon after.
Florida to The Bahamas (KTMB – MYNN)
After almost 25 hours of flying it was time for a routine check under the cowling. No major issues to report so far, except for a sticking throttle cable that appeared misaligned.
Once the check-up was completed off we were to The Bahamas. ATC services provided by Miami until Nassau approach took over; clear weather with scattered clouds all over.
The Florida keys revisited
Not much changed in the keys since 2012 but this time there was enough time to visit the Mel Fisher Maritime Museum in Key West – exhibiting great fortunes recovered from Spanish galleons sunk in the vicinity.
Miami
Was fun wandering around in the art deco district of Miami…
Of special interest was the Wolfsonian-FIU art and design museum, featuring industrial design and advertising posters primarily fron interwar Europe.
Key West / Miami from above
Landed in Key West, Florida, went through the customs, allowed to proceed.
Night flight above the Overseas Highway towards Tamiami / Kendall airport.
Buzzing Miami Beach the next day…
