It is a crying shame the the 'Royal' Nassau Sailing Club has not gotten off of their collective behinds and repaired their docks so they could assist in a better fashion for the various events.

Depending on how high he was flying and how far along he was, you typically start making your call descending through about 5-6,000 feet, get much below that and you won't be able to make radio contact with them anymore. The Cessna 150 was superseded by the 152 in 1977, so that plane is over 40 years old. Now, from the picture it looks to be in great shape, and so long as you keep up the airframe maintenance, you are always swapping out new engines, the plane can be totally 100% up to par and reliable...still, a small single engine 2 seater, heading out to the big wide ocean...would have me a bit on edge. With GPS technology these days, navigation is not really the concern, it's comes down to a failure within the aircraft.

You have to in the far flung islands, typically once you start descending from altitude and know you are going to lose radio contact with ATC, you go ahead and close it out, as there is no guarantee once you get to the destination that you will get to a phone in a timely manner to call in to cancel once on the ground.

I fear they may never be found, once you get out further east than Cat Island and Long Island, on that last leg towards San Sal and Rum Cay, it's just one huge deep deep ocean. Look how long it took them to find the Faro and that was a huge ship!!

Ban the numbers houses, shut them down, do a national lottery which like most places all proceeds go towards an education fund for schools. "Everyone Wins!'

Churches are some of the biggest monetary leeches out there. Pastor sitting pretty while the flock starves and can hardly pay their light bills...

Shameful...I'm a decent consumer of water, over the span of a year, probably around $2,000...that would take me 23 YEARS to amass that debt. But willing to bet that if I did not pay my $500 for this quarter, the meter man coming knocking on my door to disconnect!!
