We decided to push for home this morning. We made an attempt for Sprague and soon realized it would have taken about 2.5 hours to fly 60 miles. After returned to Steinbach South we looked at the weather forecast for all the points on our wish list and found that the only open window was to try get ahead of the weather and head for home or sit at Steinbach South for the next two day and try not look bored.
We left Steinbach with a good push and headed for Carmen. After fueling we headed for Souris and found everything all locked down. We decided with the wind push and the fuel on board to change our plan and head for Moosomin overflying Virden if we needed fuel. About 4 miles out of Virden we got forced down by the remains of the storm that had between Souris and Carlye. After some food and refueling the skies in the direction of Carlye started to clear and we headed for Carlye. Southern Sask had the best forecast and most importantly airports about every 100 miles or less. Perfect for a west headwind. We arrived about 7:30 pm after about an 1.5 hour flight. I have a little repair to make in the morning and then we will try for Weyburne. We know the weather will stop us for a day somewhere along the way , we think around Assiniboia.
So are we having fun yet? Yes, we have seen some amazing countryside, river systems, beaver damns, deer etc etc.
More when I can. We'll see what the weather looks like tomorrow.
