Unplanned encounter. This is how one pilot guest said goodbye to Small Hope Bay.
The Bahamas must have mellowed me because my more typical reaction would have been to dive flat on the deck.

I was walking out to the dive center when I heard a drone to my right. I glanced right and saw the plane 'coming straight at me'. My mind jumped into high gear and everything went into slow motion. Thoughts that ran through my mind:

It must be .. from last night... he was leaving today;
It looks like I am being attacked by a Zero in a Pearl Harbor reenactment;
Do I have to do anything to avoid being hit?;
Nope he is going to miss me;
Camera!

Then time jumped to fast mode and I managed to get some serendipitous photos.
To get a sense of actual distance, the camera lens was at a wide angle, 25 mm, equivalent.Read more

The camera was not horizontal. There is a small part of the horizon in lower right. The plane is climbing.

The plane passed between me at the near end of the wooden crosswalk and the dive hut.

Day1
Morgan's Bluff, Andros Island
January 31, 2016 on the Bahamas ⋅ ⛅ 4 °C
We sailed 32hrs through the Gulf Stream to arrive at Morgan's Bluff to check into customs. We only anchored two night here. We anchored in about only 10ft deep blue aqua beautiful water! The Bahamians are very friendly but a bit disorganized. We paid $300 per boat for customs and immigrations. We had to raft-up along Migration in a small risky area. Fortunately, we didn't have to back in as they first suggested us to do. Made us all really anxious!Read more

Early Morning
April 11, 2017 on the Bahamas ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Where Fernandez Bay faced west, here we face east.

The windy day kept bugs away. Actually, the whole time I was in the Bahamas, I remember seeing no insects and doing only one automatic mosquito swat. Apparently this was unusual.Read more

Day10
Small Hope Bay Lodge
April 10, 2017 on the Bahamas ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
Another family resort as is Fernandez Bay. Where Fernandez Bay was more "do your own thing", Small Hope was more like a summer camp. At the Bay there were small private tables for dining. At Small Hope they were longer. If someone was at an empty table, one of the personnel, e.g. diving crew, would sit there too.

Small Hope is organized around activities that guests choose: scuba diving, snorkeling, batik making, nature hikes, etc. This appears to be a scuba diving mecca where many came to be certified for specific capabilities.

There was also a broad age range of guests when I was here although the average age tended to be younger than at the Bay. There were a half dozen of pre-teens here.Read more

After yesterday's over-exertions, all I felt comfortable doing was a short nature walk. I wanted to be alert enough to fly back to fForida later today.

There were numerous red winged blackbirds, similar to the ones back home.

The limestone surface is dissolved by acid rain. This area looks like a pock marked sponge.

Sometimes sink holes are formed by the dissolving process.

Another sink hole. Sometimes these form underwater creating 'blue holes'.

Although this beckoned, I used the one in front of my cottage. Very relaxing.
