I meant to fly further to the east over this area of the southern Adirondacks but drifted north too much instead

By the time of departure though just an hour later low clouds had rolled in with light rain. Not good but at least for flying up the shore it shouldn't be an issue

Yea nope, just flying around it instead

Occasionally large ones tho, like Mururoa, with an airstrip

Climbing up over the ridge for a better view of the terrain

Passing over the Wadjemup Lighthouse

Setting my cruise power to the lowest I've ever had to in order to extend my range far enough to reach my destination thanks to the headwinds. This gunna be a long and slow flight. Luckily I have two other aircraft PoH to study...

Coming off autopilot as I pass over the airport to get on downwind leg

Little bit off on my rollout to final

Seeing what I can of the Narrien Range

Overtop a former Queensland province known as The Gemfields

Coming around the tallest point in Cuba, Pico Turquino at 1,974 m (6,476 ft), to head east along the southern shore

Passing the coastal town of Chivirico with one last look back towards the still prominent Pico Turquino

Back to civilization as I reach the far outer edges of the LA metro area, passing over Temecula

Taxiing out to the active runway

Crossing over the GWB, fighting to stay at FL015 as winds off the Palisades cliffs buffet me around

Approaching my planned cruise altitude of 14,000' and it looks like I will barely clear the cloud tops

On base for final - the runway is out there somewhere I just have to hope I can see it before I hit minimums

Looking back as I start to climb out and away
