Final Approach: St. Barths The French West Indies from Agent M on Vimeo.

I haven't visited my Travel Agents HQ in a while , i have been making little movies one of which is about the final approach to St Barths Airport.

The Yellow Sea Plane

While ducking planes on final approach in St Barths i spied this little yellow sea plane.

HQ required further intel so i just had to get a closer look.

Final Approach Run Way St Barths

Ok I have been waiting to upload some of the videos i took of the approach to St Barths Airport. Heres a short clip of a plane on final approach. Pilots need a Finesse Upgrade to land here and you can see why.

Getting around in the French West Indies

Two ways to get to St Barths from St Martin's other than sailing your own boat: 

Ferry 1 hr 15m, or a 15 seater plane 10 mins. Pilots need a finesse upgrade to land and take off from the airport, you can see why.

Finally after New Year's Eve celebrations on St Barths

i am catching up with this report.

After being released by Homeland Security in MIA for taking photos in the airport i arrived in Juliana Int Airport too late for a connection to St Barths. Travel intel sujested i camp on the Dutch side of the island, then catch the Rapide Ferry to St Barths first light. I dont't usually book hotel rooms ahead when i am traveling, even this close to NYE09 on the popular Caribbean Islands, i found the perfect cover for agents overnighting in Philipsburg.

At 0700hrs next day i am on the wharf looking for the Ferry which didn't arrive on account of the fact that it had ceased operations at that port.

Knowing that the are not many ferries each day I make a quick transit across the island to Marigot to catch the Voyager, The French Connection that runs a service to St Barths.

Waking up to this island in the eastern Caribbean was a magical experience. Soft light, dreamy island vistas, friendly natives and a transit mission complete.
