Can it get any better? Maybe. Andre didn't fly on Saturday because the forecasted winds (RUC) were too light (the NAM under called it also, but not by as much). We got 19-22 mph winds, when the RUC said 8 mph.

A forecast is fine, reality is better. Be prepared to go and see what reality brings. That's the lesson here in Zapata, while Dustin goes for the record and Andre sits on the ground.

This is the old Zapata. The Zapata of 2000 and 2001. Over running and cloud streets and really happy pilots. This is the weather that those of us who came here first told the world about and weather that we couldn't get off our minds and out of our emotions. Weather than we talked about to others who came here and didn't see it and they went away disbelieving.

It's here, it's now, it's happening.

And the forecast for Sunday is only better.
