What a tribulation.

Sorry for such a bad end to your trip. Thanks again for sharing your trip with us.

The front windows are 12mm perspex specifically designed to conform to ISO 12216 and there is not one report of a failure of the front window from wave impact in the thousands of catamarans Leopard has built with this feature.

The front cockpit is designed to drain in 45 seconds, exceeding ISO 12216 and ABYC standards.

I wouldn't call these the ultimate blue water boats, but they are probably more capable than the putz at the helm about 99% of the time.

Seems airline only carries about closed doors on time to be considered an on time flight

Pilot said we were in the " penalty box" , I think meaning no runway available.
Also they had problems getting the jet way unattached

Miami was a mess waiting about 50 minutes for luggage.
That was a extremely long walk to Customs D

Customs went quickly as well as re going through security

Considering that the right engine drug on the runway for a considerable distance, it's amazing that the right wing didn't rip off. It speaks to the strength of that connection.

Oh, ok. Sorry.

The jest wasn't serious -- merely a comment pointing to the complexity of the necessary repairs.

I doubt that will happen. It is a massive undertaking to strip something like that of all the hazardous materials.

One suggestion I heard yesterday: It could be sunk off the coast to create an artificial reef for divers.

That plane is not going anywhere for some time.

Here are two photos I took this morning of the WestJet airliner, which is parked opposite Avis Rental Car.

It looks to me as if the right wing has hinged violently, causing crinkling of the metal in the area near where the wing attaches to the body of the aircraft.

Sorry, why did it take so long to take off, after the plane got off the runway? What a horrible couple of days.

Everyone stated the forward cockpit would be a disaster at sea when leopard introduced it. In reality there have need zero issues. It drains almost instantaneously if you manage to stuff the bow. The drains are huge. My wife’s one request in the new boat was an interior walk through to the bow with a forward cockpit.Really limits your choices.

Got home after 230am

Started 1100am Sunday
Home 230am Tuesday

Needed to transfer some money to cover bills

Yes big long nap after we drive back to Delaware today

Agreed Mal. At least this one doesn't have the helm right up on the flybridge (my personal pet hate) but it is definitely more suited to trundling around the BVI than crossing oceans.

Wow. Late flight. Big nap time tomorrow.

1007 pm and boarded on time with 30 minute wait to take off.

Longer day than usual but will be happy to read others post now.

Sent two ladies from our canceled flight yesterday to dingy dock last night

They loved the nachos

look at this video on youtube, around 2:58 shows the move back off the runway.

I was only half kidding when I said I said they'd put the engine on roller-skates. Instead they propped the wing on a flatbed truck with black tires on it to support the wing. Love seeing the process.

Stay tuned to Juan Brown, pilot extraordinaire, who will cover this in detail again when cause is determined.

some good close up pics of damage
good pics here.

Saw the Topper owner last season and he didnt look as spite as he used to. Don't know the history, but what's the issue with him, Beacon Hill condos and his restaurant?

Sorry, did you get off this evening? I hope so.

Carib.

At warm airport for 7 hours and finally checked in by 630pm

Just enough time for dinner, pickup breakfast. Little casino time, and shower with not knowing what today would bring

After 3 weeks there's no place like home

Pretty sure our kids missed us (cats)

3 weeks ago got 1:1 even using credit card at la villa

It is not advertised any more there and we have been long time customers and friends with Christophe and Axel

I did notice a few other places offering 1:1

Depends on the restaurant or store.

Went last December at $1.05 so didn’t worry about it but with Euro now at $1.18, I figured it was worth thinking about.
