Narrative:

Flight departed freeport en route to nassau international. Operations just changed from 2 pilot to single pilot operation. Received a clearance to cruise BR63V. After takeoff experienced a problem with the passenger door and had to return to freeport. After fixing the problem departed and flew BR65V. Midway during the flight ZMA questioned my previous clearance. I responded that I had filed and been cleared on BR65V. Postflt study of my notes revealed that was incorrect. I believe the chief problem was caused by distraction with the cabin door. Also, one needs to play close attention to clrncs in the bahamas because of the accents and because you will also rarely receive what you file.
