Willy's Cape to Cape Bonanza

Made it on in to Kinshasa (FZAB). The weather wasn't a problem either. But another problem has reared it's head. Where to go from here? Following the route listed in the rules, it's recommended to stop in Lagos Nigeria and risk a run in with the local authorities before proceeding on to the next checkpoint at DRRN. Only thing is the flight planner says I'll need 95gl of avgas and my max capacity is 80. So, it looks like I'll have to make an unplanned stop somewhere between here and Nigeria. Time to break out the map and the rulebook and see what I can do.

Just left FOOL heading NW to Lagos. Nice longish overwater flight in a thunderstorm. Kind of wishing the Bonanza had floaties about this point.
 
Feet dry over the Nigerian coast. Went up to 9500ft to stretch my fuel when I diverted. I just hope the tailwind stays with me.
 
Nigerian Center has such a deal for me. If I send them $10,000, then I can get a share of the Nigerian President's millions from his Uncle's niece's Aunt.
 
Decided to get an early start and try to get ahead of the plan. On to DAUA. The Bonanza may not be that fast, but it's got legs.
 
Nice screenie Willy! Great to see you taking advantage of that nuclear powered confutor.
