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!
