Map

The map above will show our planned route of flight in magenta, as well as our actual route of flight in yellow. During flight, you'll see a blue plane showing our present position (updated every ~10 minutes), and green balloons will indicate where we've landed. You can also look at this map in Full Screen.

Time lapse video

 
Here is a link to a time lapse video of the entire trip.  I mounted a camera on the dashboard of the plane and set it to take a picture every 5 seconds when the plane was running.  The resulting ~38,000 pictures were edited together with music to make a high-definition (1080p) time lapse video.  The results can be seen here:

Bimini: The Island the Bahamas Forgot

Not much here... Not much at all. We've decided to cut our stay here as short as possible. We plan to fly back to Ft Lauderdale tomorrow morning (Saturday).

A few underwater pics


The diving in Grand Turk and the Bahamas has been great.  Here are a few photos I took on this trip.  They are, hopefully in order:

* A nice coral head
* Banded coral shrimp
* A conch (later to become conch fritters!)
* Honeycomb cowfish
* Flamingo Tongue shell on a fan coral
* Golden spotted moray eel
