Day 38 Grenada to Nevis to Puntacana Dominican Republic

Today was a fun flying day. We left Grenada and stayed at 1,000 feet all the way to lunch on Nevis. It was really fun to do and seeing all of the various islands from that low was really special.

We now have Theirry in the plane also as Patric left this morning directly for home.
A beautiful runway.
