After sleeping another night sleep
in the Explorer and listening rain during the night day was sunny but again
very windy. Quite the same as yesterday. |
|
|
I decided to take a brief run just after breakfast mainly
to shoot some video. I chopped some willows while going out and getting
in to hoverport. |
|
We also got on tape one of the fuel pump relay probmlems.
It's not a big thing to fix, but sure bothers to get back there and move
the relay a bit. |
|
Later on same morning i did the usual round, but this time
carefully choosing my route so that most of the way would be tail or side
wind. I managed to record speed of 50km/h side wind on a way back and did
a short veggy drive too. |
|
All in all the weekend that was supposed to be a real hoverin
weekend for me did flatten out because of the windy weather. I don't have
any doubts that i couldn't have made it anywhere i wanted to with my Explorer
in this weather, but just because i didn't have i didn't want to push it
too much. Friday was calm, but we spend the best of it installing the ligths
and since nothing but warnings were given to all boaters in Finland coastline. |
|
But i'm very pleased of getting my copy of GPS
Utility. When weather is not good for actual hovering you can always
do it virtually on your PC, just set GPS to simulator mode. |
