The EXUMA Island chain of the Bahamas!!! Literally one of the most beautiful places on planet earth and we feel SO blessed to share this weeks adventures with you all!
Landing Highbourne Cay we waiting out some weather then took the short sail to Norman’s Cay where we anchored right next to the famed drug plane that crashed off the Normans runway decades ago. Norman’s Cay is know as one of the Medellín Cartel’s refueling and party hubs as they transported drugs into the United States. Folk tale tells us that the crashed plane was that of Pablo Escobar’s and was overloaded carrying too much cocaine for the planes payload…. is that true? Watch the film and I’ll tell you the real story.
Thank you all for your support, check the links below for some of our partners and ways to support the channel.
Enjoy the film!
