Usually the readers do not get involved in the actual blog activities. Today was different. Sam had a friend visiting who I am told is an avid reader of the blog. I had planned to take them to SSI for BBQ but Southern Soul is closed for a week so we decided to head South to Flagler to sample airport fare.
It is still brisk here, around upper 30s with 20 knots of wind from the West. Luckily I had planned ahead and plugged the plane in so the engine was nice and warm for the start. The gusty winds brought light to moderate turbulence below 3000 but it was surprisingly smooth above.
On the way down we enjoyed 20 knot tail winds but it had intensified for the return with 31 knots headwind. The wind was actually 38 knots but not directly on the nose. Our guest got some flight experience and we all had a nice lunch. Given the turbulence and winds, we did limited sightseeing but the excellent visibility let us cover Saint Augustine and Downtown.
Upon landing I asked how she liked the flight and if it was like the blog. The answer... Better than the Blog.
