Flying a plane UNDERWATER! | Beau and Brandy Sailing

This episode we finish our time in Staniel Cay with exploring a plane wreck and picking up packages with watermaker air before we head out to go back to Georgetown to stage leaving the Bahamas for the season.

We discovered that the plane ride was once a drug smuggling plane that was doing practice runs with flour to test for weight. There is an much left to the plane, it was in very shallow water right off of the beach in Staniel Cay. It was so shallow that you could practically walk on the plane.

When you were in the Bahamas one of the ways to get packages from the US is by using a service. We went with one called Watermaker’s Air. Several our cruising buddies have use this service so we thought let’s give it a try. We got much-needed packages from home, ketones, spare electric motor parts and mail. Oh and chocolate 😁

Once we had all of the packages back on the boat we lifted anchor the next morning and headed out Staniel Cay. We had to go through the cut and we shared it with a very large boat, making for interesting trip out of Staniel Cay.

We made decent timers Georgetown although a little longer than we expected. It was a good sail through the although we did lose a fish.

big love,
beau, brandy, and our salty dog, oona
