Journal Notes
- Refuel (mains) and add oil on arrival
- AME says "great shape". I did a better job of leaning more on the descent instead of too rich.
- Comments... scenery OK... made it to southern-most destination in Africa!! 150 legs too. A mental milestone.
- In RW, a great Canada Day weekend at the lake. Saturday was a bit windy so did a road trip to Taber, then Med Hat to a fabric store, then back to the lake. Sunday was fishing and we found a good stretch that produced two pike and a walleye. Being a long weekend the lake was busy, busy at the south end. We had a rest at a small beach... so fun. Monday I did a few chores with the 'catwalk' and railing then we headed to Champion for the Show and Shine, then back to the trailer. A crazy windstorm hit around 6pm... at least 7 on the Beaufort scale. Brought the boat home for some maintenance on the transducer mount. A great weekend!
