interesting day to Catalina

There isn't much we can do,
by this point the nearest airport/land was our destination. I didn't
see any fuel leaking out and fuel consumption was normal. I was a
little concerned about moisture getting in but with humidity around
20% and the temp/dewpoint spread about 20 degrees I thought it would
be ok. I kept the right tank selected in case we were leaking- i hoped
to maximize my available fuel this way. What would others have done?


I'd've done just that.

I was on a cross country down south, and on preflight for a leg from Huntsville
to St. Louis the fuel drain wouldn't stop dripping. I figured VFR I could just
fly on that tank and still not lose enough fuel to worry about, but it was IFR
and night was coming, so I stayed down. Unfortunately it was also 5 pm Friday,
and no service available until Monday. So I had a few extra days in Huntsville
rather than visit my cousin in St. Louis.
