Journal Notes
- something serene about a night departure... so quiet at the field
- prefer to skirt the mountains than to cross them... hello Argentina!
- Refuel and top up oil on arrival.  AME says need a new oil filter.  Now it's in "excellent shape",
- In RW, Marg is off to work and I'm off (Easter Monday).  Cold but sunny out. Time for a walk!
