In the Bahamas!

The flight to the Bahamas went well. We are in our hotel on the beach about to leave for an afternoon dive trip!

The flight ended up being a bit more tedious than expected. When they cleared us "as filed" in Key West, we were pleased. That changed though when Miami Center tried to send us direct from Marathon to Freeport, which would have quadrupled our over-water time. In the interest of risk mitigation, I negotiated a routing with ATC which kept our over-water time to the minimum and resulted in going a bit out of the way.

We were in the clouds for parts of the over-water portion, but the ocean below looked beautiful.

It's partly cloudy here and a bit cool, but the forecast has it warming up for the rest of our trip.
