Time to extend test drives. |
|
|
Very typical autumn day: freezing wind, sun shine and about
15C (59F). |
|
Since wind was quite hard it wasn't a weather for really
extended drive, but just extend it little bit further than up and down
the river from hoverport. At the time we took off wind was blowing 8-9m/s
(18-20mph). |
|
Just two of us onboard there really wasn't any problems.
We could easily go head wind and still be above hump speed. I didn't want
to push too long against the wind just because there was no need to do
so. Wouldn't want to break my craft just for fun (what kind of a fun would
that be anyway?). And at this point other boaters are rare sigth so if
we got in trouble we'd be there by ourselves no one lending a hand. |
|
We drove here and there without any specific target. I
felt very comfortable operating the craft in windy conditions. We saw the
same swan family that we stopped to observe in summer just minutes
before i noticed we had engine problems. They are really used to people
i think since they didn't pay much attention to us. |

But soon it was time to call it a day and head back to
hoverport for meal and sauna later. |
