Clouds breaking up and clearing - a positive sign

It was quite interesting to watch how the wind was clearing the sky this morning,  really annoyed I left the pocket behind,  I should know better.

And you can't blame SWMBO this time

Is that actually blue sky I see?

Really nice depth of field on that shot DA.  Looks like once those clouds push off you are in for a nice day, albeit a bit cold from what I saw on the forecast for your area.

thanks DT,   Its even colder today.   I cut my second flight short as my fingers were freezing.  Never thought Id need gloves when I set off.

You seem to be having quite the fluctuation in temperatures.  Maybe Mother Nature is making a last ditch effort to push her way into nice Spring weather.  Highs here are forecast between 32-34 all week and only dropping to 22 at night.  It's about time we started having some good weather.

Lows of 2 or 3c here and highs of 10-12c for the next week.   Not ideal for outdoor duties.

Dang, that's back to jackets and gloves type weather at least in the mornings and early evenings.

I did indeed wear goves this morning.   this temperature drop has been a shock to my system for sure and I do hate wearing gloves and flying.

No doubt you weren't expecting those cold, winter like temps in the middle of April.   

I'm going on a dive trip tomorrow down to a man made reef.  Supposedly it is 8 old buses that were stripped to the bare bones and are all lying side by side.  Should make for an interesting dive, especially with water temps in the 25-26C range.  Supposedly it is a favorite haunt for bull nose sharks so I'll definitely have my spear gun and long knife with me.

Hopefully the wind is blowing to the right and you have a great day coming.

That sounds cool,   can you go inside the buses or just look through where the windows should be.

Raining here this morning so although I made the usual walk no flight yet.  Winds of 35mph later but that shouldnt stop an avata 2 flight.

Not a bad day in the end,    late afternoon we did get strong wind and should have the same on Friday,  But yet again we got to rain that was not forecast.

Hoping to get out today. It looks promising.

I'm told the windows were removed before they were sunk so I should be able to swim through.

Lol. Dont get stuck in there.

DAFlys Posted at 4-19 07:35

Hopefully not.  I'll give it a good look see before I go in to make sure I can fit through without getting me or my gear hung up on the window opening.  Otherwise, I guess I'll have to try the door.

I got a flight in restricted airspace for a construction project. Nothing beautiful on a cloudy day but solid work nonetheless.

Nice capture!
