Description: Weather went east leaving blue skies and brisk wind. There was just a bit too much wind in the venturi known as the Columbia River Gorge. With no river to follow west we took a shortcut through the mountains.

    High clouds are good. Low clouds (fog) are not nice for coastal flyers.      Attachments:

    It's just like other 'free' government programs, Lee, it works great when it works which is where and when the bureaucrats make it available, under their terms and conditions and typically not suitable for SeaReys flying below their radar. Pay for XM weather and you'll never be subservient to the man: viva la revolucion!
