    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
