It is now midnight and both James and I are exhausted so this is just to say that we hope to get through the weather and fly directly to Oshkosh tomorrow.
We had a good days flying today – our first daylight flight which we really enjoyed … particularly being able to see where we were going which allowed us to dodge thunderstorms over the Bahamas and near the Florida coastline. The real eye opener however was what we dealt with while following friends Don and Susan in their Cirrus into Gainesville Palatka Larkin field. The lighning strikes all around and so close by with rain and strong winds (I even landed downwind in the rush to get down) was quite an experience …
Once we are at Oshkosh and rested we will catch up on the stories.
