St Barts is a difficult place to land.   I couldn’t make it with the Grumman Goose, so I went

around and landed in the harbor.  On the approach to the airport, the harbor is off to the right.

ATC instructed me to take off from Kingstown on RW 7, which resulted in a terrain collision. 

The second takeoff was made from RW 25 which was successful.

Thanks for flying the Caribbean Jaunt 2004 with us.

 

My apologies to my friends in Venezuela, for my misspelling their countries name on some

of the screen shots.  That mistake is only exceeded by my mispronunciation of Curacao.
