Day 1 - Sunday, November 11: Palm Beach North County → Marsh Harbour, Abacos (170nm)

Meet with Air Journey this morning at the North Palm Beach County Airport (F45) at the Landmark Aviation FBO. Refuel, collect your forms, survival gear (if needed), and attend a briefing detailing the logistics of our first flight.

This afternoon is at leisure to relax on the beach or explore the island on your own. We suggest that you visit Hope Town, one of the most scenic settlements in the Bahamas. The harbor and its famous lighthouse are stunningly beautiful and the quaint, vibrant-colored houses reflect simpler days. Motorized vehicles are restricted from town, so the streets are quiet and a pleasant place to walk.

We'll end the day with a welcome cocktail before dinner at the hotel.
