Bruce has one of the coolest shacks there.
each time i have walked over to say hey he was not there nor his plane , a V bonanza i think? either.
some day i want to experience the signature event he has spoke of which is october with as i recall all three of the following occuring at once?

moon is up full and bright, sun is setting but still up so you have a twilight thang happnin, and there is a fire going off to keep warm.... yeah - i like it!

For Capt. Mike:
My picture of the moonlight, sunlight and firelight is a slide taken in about 1985...never scanned for transmission here. But we had a full moon Tuesday and it would have worked then...only we didn't have a beach fire.

Yep...you're right. Our bird is a Beach V35A. We have owned it for 24 years and I have almost 2500 hours in its left seat.....she knows where I wanna go even if I don't.

sweet - what would you do if you, once having tasted it, had to quit flying to your special place in paradise??

i think i'd have to open a vein, or at least a large bottle of cactus juice.:lol:

see you on one of the next low tides.

For Capt, Mike and other wing nuts:
That would be hard. But our son, Chris, has taken to flying the Bonanza quite a bit. His wife of three years thought that all small plane flying was like a ride she had in his Aeronca Champ were the door flew open...didn't understand that you don't need a door to fly and that it's better without one below about 120 kts.
I also just put a new engine (better than factory new) into it along with the 406 MHZ ELT we gotta have, new tinted window doublers in back, a new engine and fuel management system and like that. The engine has GAMIs and fine wire plugs and the crank was balance to half a gram so flight is smooooooth and sweeet and very fast. Only problema is $5.35 per gallon for gasolina in the USA and almost that down here.

But you gotta fly to live.

....and, despite all of that, we have been driving most of the time lately because we are retired and don't need fast trips, I don't wanna park The Bird outside for three weeks and The Boss has been requiring loads of house stuff that won't fit in any airplane smaller than a C-130.

Just curious what the winds have been today?

Thanks!

The wind has been about 10 knots out of the east all day and now it's dead calm. The forecast is for light winds and good WX until about Monday when we're supposed to get wind again.

There is only one bird here...a Bonanza that flew in tonight. The parking at the cantina on the burm above the high tide line is currently full of motor homes and cars/trucks from the Easter crowd. But we are gonna have low tides for the next week or so...you can park by the old gas dock which is under water at high tide.

It was very cool today...71F...but supposed to be warming up until next week.

BajaWaverunner:
We are back in SD but you can get the current and local WX at Gonzaga Bay here: http://www.wunderground.com/webcams/lightner/1/show.html It's a webcam at Paper Fernandez across the bay....shows the wind speed and direction in the shot.
