airports always have at least a small cloud blocking the descent to the active
runway (and hiding the intervening ridge!). SPPY-SPJE was a nice exercise in
river following. Crossing the ridge west of SPAB en route to SPUR was very like

Mag and few clowds at 5700 ft. Departing at dawn 7 o'clock. Beautifull sightseeing
of Ft. Lauderdale from 7000 ft. Nice smooth flight till approximatelly 60 miles
South East of South Bimini, when requested 10000ft of altitude to avoid clowds
and turbolence at approximatelly 7200 ft. At 900 the day was already born and
the Carabean were beautifull. Passing Nassau I have noticed a cruising ship
heading to the island and a lot of sailing boats arround Nassau. There must be a sailing chalenge in course. It is
veri enteresting here. Next hollidays I must visit Nassau. Then approximatelly
at half way between Cape Santa Maria and Rum Cay We have encontered winds at
277/21Mag and quite relativelly strong turbolence. controlling the fuel
quantity, my co-pilot and I realised that because of quite strong headwinds
that we had on ocxasions, we have burned much more fuel than we have planed,
and also the turbolence was reinforcing and the hostess came to tell us that
some of the passengers were concerned abouth all that shakeing. So we decided
to land on the beautifull Grand Turk island (MBGT) for refueling and also take
our passengers for a ride over the island (I know the local tourist agent). I
must also ask for a fast engine check because of the strange sounds and a
little oil pressure loosing from the left engine. So Tina (DC-3) landed on MBGT
at 1225. I have chaked the fuel tanks, where only 960 pounds of fuel remains...
defenatelly we need more fuel to arrive at San Juan by air (don't forget the
fact that passengers doesn't like to row on a plane, and... I don't think that
the good old Tina know swimming). The passengers were taken on a beautifull
tour of the island including a fish based lunch and swiming in cristall waters
or big game fishing. Meanwhile the local aircraft mechanic, Matej (my co pilot)
and I, realised, that the oil pump on a left engine was gone. I know...we well
be late on a scadule, but without one engine... So we arranged that the new
pump will be delivered to us with the next supplies ship (that will arrive the
nekst day!!!). So I went to the local tourist agent and arranged very good
hotel rooms for a resonable price for our passengers and also an entertaining
program for the hole day and night. It's quite good to have ex school mates all
over the world isn't it? So the next day
at 500 arrived the supplies ship with our pump. Hose - the mechanic,
Matej and I arranged to fix THE PROBLEM by 800, than enbarching passengers
(refueling was done the night before), and at 900 we left the ground of Grand
Turk island, heading to San Juan. The flight at this time was nothing special
passengers were all sleeping because of the gran fiesta that was organised by
the locals the night before. They were not complaining about our forced stop at
Grand Turk, because they reather fly without strong turbolence and they have
also visited the island and had an adventure. So the day was clear only few
clouds some miles before San Juan, but nothing serious. San Juan had quite an
air traffic that I didn't expected, but the ATC did it's work well, so we have
landed (at least) at 1111. It was my first time in San Juan and I was astoned
by it's beauty. there is also a hidroplane base near. Anyway... the passengers
reached the destination in delay but happy and me and my creaw went for a tour
over San Juan. It's a pitty we didn't have more time to spend here maybe the
next time.

Stop at Helmer Airport to refuel. Basically uneventful flight in spite of being
totally lost TWICE. Did I mention I had no radio devices of any sort? Kept ALT
below 1000ft because of clouds at 1600ft. This plane is light and REALLY gets
tossed by the wind (about 12kts out of the west). Finally find Chicago and
deliver the mail. Glad the service guys have hot coffee and other
"beverages" in the hangar. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

bound for Chicago. 20 minutes into flight engine started stuttering. Landed at
Vermillion Airfield. A cracked fuel line needs replacing. No spare parts til
tomorrow. Rats... A local fellow says I can borrow his airplane. It's not as
fast as my DH-4, but he says his Jenny is reliable. The mail must go through!
