Was that the drug island, Escobar and his smugglers flew C-46s, DC-3s and Lear’s in and out of Norman?
Rwy used to be 3000’ but was extended to 4900 when they started building the marina and resort. you wouldn’t recognize the island. The marina is real nice (it should be at $7 a foot…), huge basin, etc. The landscaping and path and roads is just spectacular. very busy… they were full a few days ago. Many new homes have been built and a number of beaches including Boot Cay are now private But they have customs so it means people can fly in with having to stop in Nassau. Landing and clearing fee s varies but up to $2k for a G4. Even when staying at the marina, fees to clear customs is $1000 but again, high quality marina
You are right, I wouldn’t recognize no marina, we always anchored out in the Berries and the Exumas then used the dink to hit the beach or the grocery stores. (But used the fuel dock at Chub, Nassau and Staniel Cay with the big boat) Been to Bimini and to North Cat Cay with 2 power boats after selling the blow boat in 2013 but anchoring with 27-28’ power boats are not great, too much rock and rolling going on, marinas from now on, if we go back but wifey says no, no more sailing, no more boating, no more diving and no more motorcycling and no more flying in small aircraft.
Ha, yes I am O K, very much so, need to slow down anyways, 68.5 years on the this planet and just happy to be around after being stupid for most of the years. (no doubt wifey saved my life just by saying NO, don’t ride that big Harley to the biker bars in Dallas every night, don’t smoke those cigarettes every day you idiot, etc, etc) Just happy to have survived the 68.5, all good
My old stomping grounds in Fort Lauderdale. Stuff happens. https://www.facebook.com/reel/2105915583260122?fs=e&fs=e
Must be a bug in this thread. I had a heck of a time posting that last. Thought I was hitting the wrong buttons also. I kept messing with it and got it to post correctly. Everything just worked fine responding to the Joke Thread.
Aye, the thread is cursed Will try to attach pics from a recent trip to Fort Lauderdale and the YOT Bar and Grill: “Warning the Image is too Large” Weird, I sent them to a mod first for re-sizing and a blessing. Will try another picture from a trip to the Arctic last month @ 69.9687° N, 23.2715° E Nope, Image is too Large.. Anybody knows how to re-size images to fit in the 1.3mb format?
It would help to know that you re posting with… from my phone (iOS) before selecting a picture, click on the option icon and select the size. from a computer, there are different options as well
Using an iPad most of the time, tries re-sizing pics to get the pixels down but most of the time it makes no difference. Most of the time my own images are the problem, harvesting (stealing) photos from other websites are less of an issue.
In IOS after you tap Upload a file>choose file>photo library you will see an option icon at the bottom of the screen. Tap on that and select large or medium size. The shape on the option icon varies depending on iOS version
Only had 2 choices, Thumbnail or Full Image, but those buttons seem to be resident on this site, not on my iPad?
Will try some of the previous photos being blocked for size: Nope, still the warning banner before I had a choice to hit Thumb Nail. Will try agan but using files rather than Photo Library: (Birthday Girls got in, click for full size)
Trying one more time, this picture has been rejected by the YF Filter 2-3 times, but the experts swears it is below the max limit.
