This was sort of a "refresher" - I did both duals back in October, so we're
just catching up a bit before I take the phase check. Planned out a flight
to Manitowoc, but we didn't go much past West Bend. With the low ceilings
and winds, I was just fine with that.
Heh, SVFR practice? Not quite...

Yeah, the winds worked against me both ways. A bit annoying. I am
totally going to write a complaint letter to the NWS.

So was this one of your XCs? Dual?

You ain't kidding about the winds. They were from 250 when I was

planning at
around 3 o'clock - by 3:30 they'd spun round to 200. Statrted double
checking my planning when it was obvious we were heading northwest

instead
of northeast. 138 kts out - 78 kts back. Ouch.
