It's been over three years already since I stepped down as Founder & CEO of my pioneer Seaplane Charter Service in the Bahamas, first formed in 1989! The torch was passed to good friend and new CEO, Capt. Paul Aranah Jr. last December and featured in the Seaplane Pilots Association Magazine, 'Water Flying' .... Now the latest promotion for some exciting seaplane adventures!
"Sharks in the Runway" now available on Amazon in hardback, paperback & eBook tells the story of how the most successful seaplane charter service in The Bahamas got started - from a simple idea sparked by a man who ordered a brand new seaplane and had no clue how to fly!

The Adventure continues here ..... !
UPDATE: April 26th 2016
On my return to Nassau I see with disappointment the two partners have not been able to make things work in their acquisition of my company. 23 years building a fine reputation with the first commercial seaplane operation here in the Bahamas seems now wasted?
Maybe one day something will get resolved, meantime there is a very forlorn Maule seaplane in the hangar feeling very neglected.
I know my services are well needed again but fear financially I fall short of having what it takes to breathe new life into this service ....
Again, stay tuned. Things could take a turn for the better one day .... I have an idea!
