Thanks for sharing the beautiful pics.
Winds are forcast to 50 here today so I expect will be as high or higher on the coast. I'm glad you flew during the lull. I should have been so lucky.

Gotta love Fore Flight. I've hardly dialed for a briefing since I got it.

The horrific thunder bolt that shook Newport last night was depicted in ForeFlight about five minutes later. Totally amazing that the satellites could relay to the NWS that fast!
ForeFlight is the best.
