Bahama's #6: Treasure Cay!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 гру 2018
- Woke up in the morning, Jaime cooked us breakfast and we enjoyed it out on the deck overlooking the beautiful blue waters of Andros. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end and it was time to move on to Treasure Cay. Congo Town was hard to leave!
We filed a VFR flight plan over the phone with Nassau Flight Service and activated it as soon as we took off (lesson learned). In this VFR flight we received flight following from Nassau Approach and got on top of the clouds at 5500. The flight was smooth and the visibility excellent. 55 minutes later we landed at Treasure Cay and got a taxi to the resort.
Treasure was also really fun with a different vibe than the last two places. This was a little more touristy but nothing like the mega-resorts that the airlines go direct to.

Life's a beach! You guys nailed it again !! Good Job!
My God guys! A+!!! On your choices. Great vids as always! Thanks for sharing!!!
Damn, yep you all did it again, another great video......this one is great as you popped up to 5500 ft so you can see how the ocean currents carved out the ocean bottom, way cool. I agree with you, re fly vs cruise ships. The resort at Treasure Cay is absolutely beautiful, not quite as private as the other but really nice, glad you showed the rooms as gives people the idea of their hospitality/cleanliness etc... Can't wait until you do the Grand Canyon next year !!! low altitude to high altitude. Hey tilt the camera down your wing on your traffic pattern downwind, base etc. like you did at Congo Town, gave it a totally different feel for the landing (just a suggestion). Good pilot skills by the way, great landings every time. The reflection in the windshield would definitely create a different depth perception. Again great video cannot wait until the next. Relax and enjoy yourselves.
Treasure Cay looks like heaven! Thanks for sharing you two!
Wow! Beautiful! Sure hope to take a trip like that sometime. Thanks again for taking us along!
Great video, awesome guys!!
Wow, that place looked amazing. Thanks for the video.
What an incredible series of videos!
It is so enjoyable to see a couple so in love and in tune with each other and professional at doing what you love!
Thank you for allowing all of us to fly along with you both and permitting us to bask in the beautiful Bahamas scenery.
Great content again as usual. Thanks for taking us along. Looking forward to the next stop!!
Awsome video. I was in aviation for about 30yrs. Flew taildragers. You've got an awsome copilot! Keep flying!
It is like time stands still when we travel with you two...awesome!
That was a great video - the Bahamas are beautiful and it is fantastic to see them from the air like this. Thank you for sharing.
What a great video. Amazing colors.
Jealous! On day I’ll do all this in my 182 (I seriously hope so). Thanks for sharing, you guys are great. Quite the team
Thanks for sharing another nice flight. Have fun you two!
You're welcome Mike...thank you!
That seems to be a great time of year to go down there! Once again, really enjoyed being along on the journey. My favorite part of this episode was the 13:33 mark!
Great video of the Bahamas! Thanks for sharing the aerial views. We cruise there on our sailboat and really enjoy it. The Cays prounounced Keys are amazing.
with a beauty beach all to yourselves.. who needs the pool :) looks great thanks 4 posting
Buddy totally agree with you about boating on the ocean! Lol Great trip I have always wanted to do the same! Maybe some time soon! Thanks for taking me along!
Great ride, we go to Treasure Kay about 6 times a year, we love it there. Stayed at the same place that you stayed, swim in the same pool,same beach,etc. so very sad that it’s all blown away. Love your vids, thank you. Nick piscitelli
Well done you two!! Serenity shines threw with you two and editing!
What a great series of videos! Thanks for taking us all along on your island hopping adventures. I grew up in Orlando area flying w my grandfather who was retired Air Force. Spent a lot of time in the islands as a kid. Mostly in a 401B or a Cheyenne. Didn’t know how good I had it back then! lol. It’s great to see Walkers Cay coming back to life as well. That, Normans Cay, and Marsh were my favorites. Never missed an opportunity to go on one of those trips. Hope u get to go back soon and take us along.
Another great video guys! The sound of the engines coming up to power on takeoff is awesome. Pure, raw horsepower. Doing max power run ups on C-130's was always a treat for me. Thanks for taking the time out your busy schedules to produce these videos. Greatly appreciated!
Looked like a perfect flight to me. Great video!!
Very, very nice the flight and Treasure Cay Resort images ! I will fly this route in my x-plane flight simulator . Very thanks !
The journey continues........Love it. Thanks for taking us with you! Love your videos. George in FL.
Glad you're enjoying it!
Thanks for the ride along , see both of you next. Skip from Modesto California
Wow, amazing how u can understand what they r saying in the radio... I was having a bit hard time. This looks like a lot of fun!
I like when Jaime opens the door once you both have landed, nice landing Kevin and nice beautiful scenery and pools and beaches
You two are really living the good life and it's nice to see. I thoroughly enjoy your videos, thank you for sharing!
Really glad you enjoyed it!
Love the shop of Castaway Cay! We were there back in Magic's first year afloat when it first opened (maybe 98 or 99). That was a Disney ship at the dock, but they have more than one now... Also, that runway doubles as the boardwalk from the main area where the ship is down to the other end where the adult only beach is. When there is no ship in port, it is the runway for it's staff and supplies... Very cool! Love the videos.
Awesome VID Jamie & Kevin when I look out here in the Cleveland area and all I see is ground covered with white snow! I really enjoyed the island scenery and especially the air shot of Castaway Cay Island. To see the beach where I have visited for a day was fabulous! The white soft sand was wonderful! I had a previous visit to this island with the Disney Cruise folks with our family, it was really enjoyable especially the daycare they had on board to allow some evening celebration time! :-)
Ya muhn!!! Where is the uber love button!!! thanks for letting us go on vacation with you guys. The skies and surf. Beautiful. Appreciate all you do. Thanks again the music with steel drums. Puts ya right there. Need a good cigar and cold Corona!!
Great clip.. loved it.. oh and G-Day from Sydney Australia..👍
You two are amazing! Love the videos!
Awesome....thank you Todd!
This was the most spectacular scenery so far on your trip. Easy to see why you wanted to fly your own plane to the Bahama's. Thanks for taking us with you. Fly safe.
Glad you thought so Dave! The Bahamas are made for general aviation! Can't wait to get back down there.
Perfect time for a 310 Pilot Video ! Sitting here on my lanai, along the waterfront at my SW Florida home. Nice easy breeze... Temp 81 and brilliant sunshine ! Your Carribean Music was the icing on the cake ! Oh wait.... didn't mean to tease there Kevin, I forgot that you still live in the Land of Snow and Cold :) :) :)
What a great vacation...... thanks for posting! Merry Christmas Kevin and Jamie🎄
Thank you Terry! Merry Christmas. :)
Greetings from England. Great vids. Love the Bahamas.
Glad you liked them Dave! Maybe one day we will get brave and cross the North Atlantic and fly around your neck of the woods. :)
Sick man...we could use that weather up here right now. Great video!!
AWESOME!!!! I just watched and saw Nassau from the air! Absolutely beautiful !!! Watched on my new 4K tv can't wait to see it in person !!! Thanks for sharing!!!!❤️🇺🇸😎✌🏻☀️
Glad you enjoyed it and it turned out well! :) Hope you enjoy your trip down there.
Bahamas, Bikini's, Corona and a 310 - perfect! You two must be having an absolute blast of a time! Awesome stuff!
You are a very lucky couple to be able to travel so much. I enjoy your videos, I feel like I'm flying with you. I am also not ashamed to say that I am a little jealous too!
It just keeps getting better and better! Blue skies and tail winds my friends!
Another killer video! Again, 'way cool to see Great Abaco from the air. At FL0 the vis is somewhat limited, particularly after a Bahama Mama or two... The "Disney island" is really Great Stirrup Cay, but who's counting? The beach by The Crab Pot is rated as one of the top beaches anywhere. That sand is like walking through flour, eh. Too bad nobody told you about the "sand dollar reef". At low tide you can walk way out on the bar and hunt for sand dollars. V. cool. On our only (commercial) flight to Treasure Cay (rest on our boat), we stayed at the other end of the row of units you were in. Had I known, I'd have left you a note. ;)
Glad you enjoyed it Richard!! Thanks for the heads up on the area and that will give us some things to work into our next Bahamas trip. :)
Great videos guys...enjoyed a mini vacation just watching!
Awesome...glad you enjoyed it Ron!
It is so fun to watch all of these...I feel like I am back seating with y'all. I love watching all phases of flight, your radio work and instrument usage. This is about as close as I can get to the days when I could afford to fly. You both are amazing! Keep it up!
Glad you are enjoying it! I've had to take breaks a few times over the years. If you want to get back up there, I'm sure it will happen.
The Closed Caption is a mess, and really funny! Love your videos!
The "pampers open" LOLOLOLOL
Another awesome video guys! Looks like great accommodations. Thanks for sharing! 👍
Thank you Harold!
Awesome views from the cockpit cam. Thanks for the Bahama tour. And, cruises are the best way to relax, and enjoy the Caribbean .
Glad you enjoyed it William...We'll jump on a cruise ship soon. :)
Thanks for sharing your vacation time making your vacation flight videos .. This should be a yearly event lol 😆
I love your videos! I have always loved flying. I always wanted to learn to fly. But being in the logging industry, in the summer when I had the money, I never had the time. In the winter when I had the time, money was short, and weather was usually an issue. So, now I just fly with you two. Keep up the good work.
Great traveling with you.....Thanks for sharing your adventure
Kevin & Jamie, another fantastic video of your adventure to the Bahama's. Spectacular scenery, perfect choice of background music, and the beaches are to die for. As a Private Pilot with only 400 hours, I can tell you that I love flying, but it is second for me to diving with over 4000 logged dives. Next time you plan your trip, be sure and get certified first. Trust me, the true beauty is under the surface of the water and certification is really inexpensive. You will thank me later...... Thanks again for sharing with us.
What a gorgeous flight! Thanks for taking us along. I could watch this all day long.
Awesome...glad you enjoyed it Matt!!
Another nice one, I live in Chicago too, it was 22 degrees outside while I watched this. That airplane truly is a magic carpet. Good to see you use it like it was intended.
You two make a good team, thanks for sharing.
Awesome...thank you Terry!
Great video as usual , looking forward for the next. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it Don!
Hi guys... Corona beer on the table. !!!!!
Greate video. I will be waiting for the next.
Greets from México..
Thanks again for taking us along great shots and pics👨✈️👍
You're welcome Roy...glad you enjoyed it!
Great video beautiful scenery
Great video! Really enjoyed it! Amazing scenery. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome....thank you Todd!
Thanks for always taking the time to reply @@310Pilot!
That would be a dream vacation
Enjoy!
Athens. GA
It sure was! Go Dawgs!! Even though I'm still not over the fake punt!
If you 2 ever take a cruise let me know Id love to meet you guys, or if you get to Sun N Fun as I am within an hour or so drive from there. Your Bahama videos really show a side of the Bahamas that you never see while cruising. Those cure bungelos and the empty beaches sometimes would be a welcome relief from some of the crazy cruise passengers lol. Again thank you for allowing us all into your aviation loves. Great videos.
You guys are killing me!?!? Did you see my bucket list :-). Jamie, yes cruising is great (we’ve done many from Cape Canaveral) great food n fun activities but nothing beats the view cloud surfing in the Bahamas n walking a empty beach.
Thanks again, great vid.
3:43 to 'boats out in the water', ...' ye'h, it's beautiful' 'yeah'. I luv that scene. Breakfast was real. You guys are the best! Norm Labhart. rip.
Hi guys. I really enjoy your videos. I used to fly DC-8's and L-1011's around the Caribbean with Air Canada. Retired and living in Tampa Bay now. Great memories of flying in Paradise after flying in the crud around Canada. If I remember right, Nassau's 11,000 foot strip is due to the fact that it was a designated Space Shuttle emergency landing strip. Keep up the great work!
Cool little bit of trivia Steve!
My father flew Dc-8"s and L1011's for AC also Trevor C.Jones he loved the 1011
ted jones Yes I did too. Probably my all-time favorite aircraft to fly. it just did everything well.
I was a full time aircraft electrician with the 102nd fighter wing at Otis Air National Guard Base (KFMH) for 31 years. Our two runways were 8,000 and 9,500 and we were an emergency landing strip for the Space Shuttle also. Now a retired Msgt. and shop chief, I really miss turning the wrenches on the planes, especially the F-106 and the F-15. I can still smell the odor of Jet exhaust. Love watching these videos.
You guys rock, love it.
Awesome views, can't wait for the next one--enjoy guys and be safe.
Glad you enjoyed it Randall!
Beautiful Views as always!
I thinks it awesome that y'all took time from the kids and made time for each other! that's waht you need to do from time to time. It looks like you are having a great time. The videos are awesome!!!
Glad you enjoyed them David! We enjoyed ourselves a lot! It was only a 5 day trip...couldn't stand being away from them any longer. :)
Awesome video! I grew up in Treasure Cay and my dad had an Aztec based at Treasure Cay airport. We have since moved on and now live in Canada but its awesome to see the old stomping grounds. Your videos are amazing and you and Jamie seem like awesome people. For your next trip down there, just remember that "Cay" is almost always pronounced "Key" when in the Bahamas! Im sure you heard it on the radios but just thought I'd let you know! Keep it up and can't wait to see the new paint job!
Oh my ... this is the best vacation I have been on in years. Thanks for letting me hang with you 2. Keep them coming K&J and great work with the video.
Glad you enjoyed it Chris!!
Nothing like a home made brekky followed by a leisurely flight to the next holiday spot. This resort looks a bit more flashy than the last, with great water views. Thanks mate
great smooth flight nice place you went to take her on a cruise at sea
We travel with you in Paradise. Thanks for the nice view :)
Hi you two! Absolutely superb! Loved the flying shots, and the island scenery at the end has warmed me up
On a cold winters night here in Manchester 😀
Stephen.
Glad to warm you up from our trip way up there! Thank you Stephen!!
Love your Bahama vacation videos.
Awesome...glad you are enjoying it!
Sure Looks better than Stateside.... a lot warmer for sure..... 29 deg. here in Oregon.......... have a great Vacation.
You guys are great love your videos .
Awesome...thank you Keith!
Awesome video as usual, we love the Bahama's. My cousin and his hanger partner both have houses on Crooked Island, wish I could afford one myself. Two of my favorite things flying and the beach.
Two of my favorite things as well Darrell! Crooked Island is on our list. :)
Beautiful part of the world! On my bucket list. Guess I better hurry up since will be 70 in 3 months ... I enjoy the videos, very well done/ Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome....glad you enjoyed it! I'm sure you won't be disappointed if you have the chance to get down there!
I visited Nassau and stayed on Paradise Island before it became the Atlatntis many years ago. I wouldn't recognize it today with the growth. I like your vacation plans better. Visit small individual islands in the Bahamas. I was extremely impressed with the pictures of Treasure Cay. Looks like an ideal island for a vacation. The Bahamas are the closest thing to Paradise! Every island is beautiful and the accommodations look great. You will hate to return to Chicago Tracon but all good things end eventually! You seem to be navigating the Bahamas very well without the sophisticated technology that our ATC posesses. FABULOUS VACATION!
Thank you for transporting me from stormy Scotland to what can only be described as paradise on earth, such a beautiful part of the world :) I don't want this series to end, I'm not in the least bit jealous ;) another awesome video, thanks Kevin and Jaime for cheering me up on a wet and very windy Friday night!
You're welcome Rab! Can't wait till we can visit your homeland. Unfortunately like all good things, this is coming to an end as well. The next video will be our flight back to FL and then subsequent ones back home. :(
@@310Pilot Hi I’m Luke my hometown is Los Angeles
great adventures. thanks for taking us with you on these videos. lol. just heard the Magenta line comment. I have my first lesson coming in spring
Love the videos guys.
Very nice.... almost like I was there!
Oh you two.... STOP IT..!!
Super tans, beautiful turbulence free flying, clear blue sea.. Jeepers...
Now you;re just showing off.. lol lol lol.... But just wonderful to see and again.. thanks for taking me along. Just GREAT. Thanks again for sharing. - Kimi
Unfortunately Kimi, we'll be stopping it very soon. The next leg will be back to FL and then our way back home. Can't wait to get back down there again! In this case, was happy to show off. :)
Kev and Jaimie - it has been a fantastic trip for us - well for me at least. I certainly miss the C310 and your vlogs that bring back many happy C310 times for me.
Familiar sounds like the wobble pumps in the mains, the klok klok as the gear comes up and the flap motor running on finals with one eye on the Blue Line. :)
Haha. Magenta Man 😎
Love your videos. AUS
Looks so relaxing
Awesome video guys!!🌴
Beautiful video. The Bahamian Islands and sea really are stunningly beautiful from the air. You all inspired me to bicycle tour from Rock Sound to Governors Harbour in Eleuthera, Bahamas. I had a great time even though I was cruising at 8mph on a bicycle. Keep up the great videos!
Sounds like a nice ride Douglas! Can't wait to get back down there one day. :)
@@310Pilot Thank you Kevin and Jamie. I found out that each island has its own unique flavor.
Best regards,
Douglas
Thanks for taking us to the beach with you!
You're welcome Roger...glad you enjoyed it!
Love your videos. For your next trip to the Bahamas, Cay is pronounced key.
There isn't one ugly area of that entire part of the planet - GREAT shots guys!! 👍👍
I agree with you on that, Kevin, about the cruise ship. When I took my 1st cruise to Bermuda a little over a year ago, I wasn't thrilled with only having a day and 3/4 on the island. We didn't get to do half of what we had planned. Of course we were with a whole gaggle of friends and their kids, so coordinating things was a bit harder had it just been my wife and I, but I would have much rather have flown down and enjoyed 6 straight days of snorkeling, riding mopeds, and hitting the beach bars for epic cocktails (not in any particular order, HAHAHA - waaatchout - moped coming in HOT!). Definitely plenty to do on a cruise ship, though. I spent more time than I should have in the various lounges & casinos, so it's all a blur 😁 , but for what it cost us, I will definitely fly next time.
What I hate the most about vacations is coming home! Wish I could spend a year down there. Nice to dream anyway. Thanks again for taking us all with you! 🍻🍻
Siete simpaticissimi.i vostri video sono splendidi. Ed emozionanti.bravi.bei viaggi .
Awesome video!! Making me want to go back ASAP. Nothing like island hopping in the Bahamas
Glad you enjoyed it David!! Makes we want to go back as well. The Bahamas are made for GA flying. :)
Love your videos. I'm 82 years old and had to give up flying my 172 a few years ago. I flew out of Clow and Lewis University for 15 years but did many trips into Aurora just to keep up my control tower skills; always remember "report Sugar Grove." I was commercial and IFR rated but mainly flew VFR for fun. Keep the videos coming I feel like I'm in the backseat.
Thank you Joe...glad you're enjoying the channel! We just flew into Clow the other day for the first time. Had a brunch at the diner there. It was a nice little airport. Glad to have your ride along with us since you hung up your headset. :)
Really good scenery guys that is beautiful I remember going up in a Queen air above the clouds it was beautiful up there over Titusville Florida with a lot of parachute jumpers was in a parachute plane being observer yes Titusville has a parachute Center called Space Coast parachute Center I think they're still jumping it's been awhile since I've been here
