The Barometer is falling!

2nd Sep 2010

The night and the morning did not augur well for the day ahead as the wind was still blowing and the skies were grey. With a mind to better understand why I looked to the Barometer, a parting gift from colleagues at CAE, only to find it had fallen badly. In fact it had fallen so badly that the aneroid capsule had dropped to the bottom of its housing - a matter of some double sided tape letting go.

With that sorted we set off at 07:15 hoping for an improving day and while the day was not bad, it was frustratingly disappointing as we were yet again, faced with a beat directly into wind, albeit a tolerable 10-15 kts. Some 9 hrs later we arrived at Mackay and settled into to the ‘post flight’ duties and a shower.

The plan is for us to be here for a week or so as I am returning to Sydney on both domestic and ‘official’ matters and Paul is off to visit some inlaws.

Next stop Rosslyn bay!
