Nose dive for a short runway!
While on vacation in Sint-Maarten, I took a day-trip to another well known avgeek location: St.Barthelemy.
From SXM I took the first ferry to the small French island, a trip that took only about 45 minutes. It is not that expensive if you book in advance and it is quite convenient. Parking for the day at the ferry terminal is cheap.
Once in SBH it was a short, uphill walk to the airport where I spent the rest of the day. It gets quite hot there so water was an essential purchase on several occasions. A cooling break or two inside the airport terminal provided some much needed relief (along with a washroom and free wifi).
I finished off the trip in Gustavia for some food at a nice cafe before taking the last ferry back to SXM.
Hope you enjoy the shots!
