• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Staggering Staggerwing

Thinking left to right (on the map)
Enough breeze to make it worthwhile so I'm off to Bangkok
VYSW to VTBD

Just past halfway the winds started to drop - of course- but still on the tail.
Not enough to panic so I'll stagger onward. At least there's lots of fuel if I have to go hunting wind later.
 
Wellllllllllllll... John's been online so there's no way I can even BUY some favourable wind. Making WSSL even with a loss of 20 kts would be ok, but no matter what I try I come up 20 nm short.

So, diversion to WMKA (at least I'll have a tailwind for a few moments :icon_lol:)
 
Oh sure.. 40 miles from destination and I have to run out to get some info for my car insurance -while they wait on the phone -- I guess being possibly uninsured is part of real life...

So, back to Bangkok for another try in a bit. :ichile::greenf::redfire:

3 hours :toilet:
 
Lean, leaner... a bit more...

Made it to Seletar and no going to find a sling.. Singapore that is.. or maybe a couple of dozen....
 
Boss called and said if I don't get to Melbourne my Mexican holiday is canceled....

So.. WRRA to WRKK

Water, water everywhere...

Apparently including in the skies over Darwin
 
Lookin' good!

Doin' a fine job Rob.

Foster's on the house when you get into Cloncurry...:ernae:
