After a long night of boxing (Mayweather vs Hatton) and partying on Saturday and Sunday morning. Oscar from "MiTarverna" fame came up with an excellent idea that went something like this....
Oscar: Let's go to the Bahamas for lunch.
AZB: When?
Oscar: Today.
Me: It's 5.30am, we are all drunk. Obviously, you more than the rest of us!
Oscar: I'll call you at 10am and let you know take off time.
(For those of you that don't know Oscar, he's a pilot and also has a couple of planes).
After a few hours sleep we get a call from Oscar.
The co-pilot is ready to go, but we have slight change of plan, we are going to Samana instead, as one or two of the Dominican "Female Entourage" have visa issues.
On the way to the airport (La Isabella) we get another call and another change of plan. Apparently the airport in Samana has lighting issues, so we are going to Sosua.

I think we just hit an air pocket!

Final approach to POP
Oscar and co-pilot at Tom's Scandinavian beach bar.
We had an excellent afternoon at Tom's place, great food, especially the pincho's. Lunch was followed with evening coffee and tiramisu at Baileys.
7.30pm we took off and we was back in Santo Domingo by 8pm.
I love these types of impulsive decisions!
