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.

Thanks for flying the Caribbean Jaunt 2004 with us.

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