My failed record attempt yesterday






... Jonny and Dustin go for it today. ...





The flight.



It looks even better today. Windy, but thick clouds at 10 AM.



I usually don't feel badly after long flights (thanks to the head bungee). My
arms are worn out after yesterday. The air conditions were just too rough for an
enjoyable flight.



I also made a major mistake by not going north northeast along highway 301. The
wind was south southwest. I went north northwest along Interstate 75 because
early in the flight the cu's looked darker and thicker in that direction. Once
over there I had to find a way around Payne's Prairie and the Gainesville
airspace which went I had to go a bit further west.



I had the opportunity to go northeast along a highway northwest of Gainesville,
but didn't take advantage of this opportunity. At that point I just wasn't in
the mood.



Jonny Durand took off at 11:15 AM and Dustin at 11:25 to try to break the
Florida state and east coast record. The winds are 220 degrees again today and
I've told them how to go over highway 301. We'll see if the winds aren't too
westerly.
