Washington is lucky, you guys have such a nice beach to land on. Nice picture.

Rats. Where's the picture?

Nice showing of Maules on the beach Mr Steel
Can we get it on the Maule forum.

Rats: I would have loved to make it 6 Maules, but had a meeting with the builder on our lot at 4:00 after the initial excavation for our home was complete. We're looking forward to hosting the crew in Port Townsend today. Our long run of perfectly clear weather may be coming to a close this weekend. That's bad timing...

Tell the rezrider hello! I lost his contact, see if he still has my email? Thanks

From yesterday and today.
Good time y'all

I was there in July...

Good meeting you guys at Port Townsend yesterday, hope the wx cooperates for the rest of your trip.

Not much of a backcountry trip
but had a great time. this is breakfast at FlyHound's house in Port Townsand

Very nice!! Y'all s ready for the rain?

Hi Jeremy. I don't know how to post pic on the maule site Im using taptalk on BCP its way easier

You left just in time! I caught RezRider checking his tiedowns in the gusty winds we were enjoying today.
Hopefully we'll get some much-needed rain out of this system(s), instead of just winds. Lots power outages around here today-- mine went off this morning, but only for about an hour.

I had a great time spending time with flyhound and Rez, Flying south I saw whitecaps in the sound with 20-25kts headwind.
It was good to meet you, maybe we will get together sometime

This is a repost of what I wrote on the Maule pilots site. It was great meeting Mr Steel, Rezrider and TomD in Port Townsend. I'm just sorry I failed to reserve sunshine blue skies and calm winds for the crew around the San Juan Islands. Our planned flight to Stuart Island was scrubbed due to high winds, low ceilings and horizontal rain. Still, it was great meeting kindred spirits in Port Townsend. The first attached weather graphic shows average wind speeds in knots. The second graphic shows the rain. The 3rd graphic shows our intended destination on a clear day. The grass strip is on the Island's bump on the east side, with water on both ends of the runway. Sigh. Given the weather conditions, it was a good day to stay on the ground with a beer and tell old flying stories. We'd love the chance to host MrSteel, Rezrider, TonD and others for a future attempt on the islands. Don't let one bad weather incident affect your future plans. This can be a great place to fly!
