Description:
Got up early to get the lightest winds of the day, I was down on the south shore around 8:00am. Highest winds I've flown in to date, I usually do AP on calm days but I wanted to contribute to this project. Fun but a bit frustrating not being able to fly like I usually do; fighting the stiff headwind and wondering when my batteries would die and if I could get my plane back.

Captree State Park (and boat basin) is at the end of Ocean Parkway, well east of Jones Beach. My parents use to take the family out to Captree when I was a kid. Dad would fish, the kids would play in the calm water, while Mom did the food & BBQ. The stuff deams are made of.

You can see the bridge going over to Robert Moses State Park located on Fire Island in the photo.

A Peaceful and Happy New Year to All,
