A sea of clouds out over the Arctic Sea

Finally get to see the entire runway and make ready for my turn to final

Heeeyyy!! Rolled a wheel off the side of the runway but missed the fence :)

Early morning fog sitting in the valleys

Climbing out of 3N6 was an interesting challenge with the ~20kts coming out of the WNW - I actually had to use some aileron in addition to rudder to keep the plane on and then over the runway and not get blown into the trees

Noticing a disparity between my altimeters I realized the digital one was reporting based on GPS, not air pressure. So you use the analog one to report to ATC, the digital one to know your actual height above sea level

Stord Bridges, which lead to a tunnel crossing under the Bømlafjorden

Heading across the waters towards Vestmannaeyjar

Heading inland for a bit to get around some dense clouds

Skimming below the cirrus layer

Passing the VFR report point of Current Creek, looking out at the Chigmit Mountains

Leaving Lake Titicaca behind as I bank over the city of Juliaca

After all that I unsurprisingly only managed to pull of an "average landing" of 1.5G, even with a 6kt headwind, as I plop her down onto the runway

Looking towards Narsarsuaq, where I'll be heading for fuel if I need to

Looking out over the Archipelago Sea

Back up to 4,500' as I pass over Cape Henlopen, DE with Cape May, NJ off across the bay

Heading downwind for Put In Bay airport servicing South Bass Island

Flying over the Reykjavik (Fossvogur) Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery

Cruise altitude of 2,500' doesn't really put you up that high over the ground anymore. Those clouds in the distance look mighty low...

Airfield in sight, that is Andrew in the pattern ahead of me just above the Angostura Reservoir

Several communications antenna as well as an observation tower in Yahikoyamaohira Park

Seal Cay, Jamaica Cay, Flamingo Cay are all made up of even smaller islands and strung out into the distance

Back-taxiing towards the parking area

Crabbing is fun! Who wants a boring old straight approach anyways? Boring people, that's who!

Made it over the clouds, will just have to see what I can see...

The tallest peak to the left is Mount Eagle just short of the clouds

Looking down on central Saint Croix

Boats dot the waters around the historic settlement of Christiansted

Well that was a nice low pass but gotta head back up again....

Enjoying the cloudscape as I climb

Topping the clouds as I head for Saba

Of course, things clear up on the other side of all that convection once I get over the clouds

Approaching Saba with more of the Leeward Islands in the distance

I know I'm close enough and the airplane is configured for final but *gulp* where is the runway

Turning around to taxi back, trying to calm my frayed nerves

Pulling up to the hold short to ask clearance
