Circumstantial evidence
Well more NOTAMs for yet another Starlink launch from the Cape has been filed...and it's Group 6-54 that was never explicitly filed with the FCC (but which a recent "generic" communication license has been granted for such launches).
Ben Cooper's Launch Photography Viewing Guide (https://www.launchphotography.com/Launch_Viewing_Guide.html); updated April 18 after Starlink 6-52 launch; my bold:QuoteThe next SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch a Starlink batch from pad 40 on April 22 at 6:40-10:40 p.m. EDT.

The launch path appears to cross over some of the Bahamian land mass. That does not seem prudent unless SpaceX can guarantee with 100% certainty (I doubt that they can) that there is no possibility of a booster failure that could have debris landing on Bahamian soil.The booster is, by recent international agreement with SpaceX, landing in Bahamian waters.

As of today's date (21 April 2024), there have been 306 successful consecutive launches , and 299 (nonconsecutive) successful landings. Apparently this is a reasonable operations record for the government of the Bahamas.225 consecutive successful landings (not recoveries, but a landed booster falling over isn't a risk to the general public).
Two NGA Space Debris notices (the same notice for two different Navigational Areas).

A satellite view of JTRI sitting in the drydock at Freeport yesterday.
Capture time: 2024-05-18 15:42:38 UTC.
Awesome shot of JRTI in drydock! Bob arrived at Freeport this morning to collect the droneship.
Is Bob carrying equipment and goods, or same purchased in Freeport, so that JRTI can be towed directly to a recovery zone, without provisioning at Port Canaveral?
Yes, JRTI has departed directly for the recovery zone, but apparently for Starlink 6-62, not 7-28. Oh, well.Is Bob carrying equipment and goods, or same purchased in Freeport, so that JRTI can be towed directly to a recovery zone, without provisioning at Port Canaveral?Speculation:
Might an Exuma I. offshore recovery be next--an inter-island tow to the recovery zone? We would know by the NOTAMs.
