Going to Camp Gary for a weekend is always a wonderful time! In Stuart. All Florida. All outdoors. Sometimes fishing. Sometimes bows and arrows with inanimate and animate targets. Walking in the woods. Good friends Gary and Karen!
This time there was a twist. Traveling to KSUA from KSRQ was by plane not car or Harley. The trip over was as calm as any trips have been in niner niner five. A tiny bit of clear air turbulence when descending from 5500 but all in all a great flight learning more about the autopilot and the G1000 cockpit. The plane is a dream and it's starting much better now too with a new battery!
The excitement over the weekend:
- The ride over (It wasn't hard to avoid the TFR for Trump but you can sense how he affects General Aviation when he is in Palm Beach. KSUA was packed with jets that normally would be one airport south.)
- The local flight circumnavigating Lake Okeechobee
- Building a squirrel slinger
- The walk through the woods
- The absolutely calm return trip learning how to lean the plane to less than 12 GPH, still making speeds greater than 130 knots
- The greased landing at KSRQ, which may be my best one yet.
The next cross country with Gary and Karen will likely be to Green Turtle Club but the FAA needs to send a permanent registration before I can leave the country:
The next cross county though may be to see Barry and Mary, landing at KSGJ.
