Back in the Saddle!

When we arrived at Banyan Air Center this morning, we were told the repairs to the vacuum system were complete and we were good to go. We taxiied over to Hangar 70, visited with Andy and loaded as many boxes of health kits and various other medical supples as would fit. This time, the weight was not a factor, but we ran out of room. We squeezed the door shut and departed IFR for Nassau. The weather over Florida was going downhill with lowering ceilings and rain, so we were happy to turn east over the ocean. It is only a little more than an hour’s flying time to MYNN so soon we were down and parked.

Here is what we brought from Ft. Lauderdale today

 We have now unloaded and hope to return this afternoon for another load but the weather may make that impossible. Meanwhile I have an opportunity to update yesterday’s post with some of the photos. We are also starting to interview and video some of the pilots and relief workers to give you a better sense of the individual stories that define this mission. I hope you will keep all of them in your prayers.
