Departure from Guam -213

James and Jean are finally en-route to Marshall Island.

The guys had to delay departure this morning in order to fix a radio problem they had due to water. One of the doors blew open during the day in the hangar and water got into the cockpit.

Then the weather forecast for the leg forced them to delay departure in order to ensure they hit the worst storms during day time rather, and finally when ZU-TAF was taxiing towards the runway, they had to turn back for a few more minutes due to flight path issues. So, James and Jean must have been quite relieved when they eventually took off to Marshall Islands.

To get an idea of the weather they will be facing, click on the infrared satellite image.

Also, herewith some mp3 clips from today’s departure from Guam.
