Yeah, Waroo has mad range. Problem is, I was doing a slow, tweaked out handle pass at the Skyway just at 9:00 am. As evidenced by the graph, I finished the move in St. Pete.

Yeah E-Bone, but you didn't have 14 flaming school buses full of snakes parked on the bridge, so your handlepass is crap!!!(Less entertaining than watching David Blaine sit in a fish tank and piss in a plastic bag for a week!)

Maybe I should use Elements instead of school buses, whatcha think?
Hope to see you guys out there!!!

It looks like the cold front squall line is well to the south of you and heading for us come to think of it. Hope some steady wind fills in behind it. Those 30 to 65 mph+ gust spikes from the squalls can really trash your week if you let them.

Look what just hit Sanibel:
