Narrative:
Flight departed paradise island en route to miami with 1 stop in bimini. Crew left paradise island with enough fuel and required reserves to complete the flight to bimini, but did not have enough fuel to continue to miami. Since there are no fueling facilities in bimini, service was interrupted while fuel was brought to the airplane in bimini from fll. Contributing factor is this situation was poor crew communication and coordination. Correction action: better crew coordination and communication.
