Opened my eyes at 6:30 Saturday morning and though cloudy, it was perfectlycalm and temperate. I knew the clouds were gonna break as the dayprogressed so I hopped up, made a cup of tea, clothed and was at the airportby 7:00. In the air by 7:20 for one of the most delightful flights I'vehad. Nothing special, but the air was cool and smooth and "RE-PIET" justwanted to climb like there was no tomorrow. Turned towards the house as thesun started finding holes in the clouds and flew around the house over Marciand she was having her coffee on the deck. Landed by 7:45 and was home by8:10 to start the day.Keep building, it's really worth it.Douwe________________________________________________________________________________
