Longest CC to date for N159SB...
Left KMOR around 11:30 and was sitting in our friends house in Parrish by 5:00. This included a rest/fuel stop at KBHC (cheap gas!!!!) clear skys all the way except for major smoke in GA.

The birds down around SRQ are big as elephants!

Went to Disney Hollywood Studio's on Saturday. Great time there. The light show is amazing.

Saw the cold front was moving in sooner than the prior forecast so we took off at 8:00 this morning and stopped again at KBHC for gas (cheap fuel!!) made it back to KMOR around 12:15 and it started raining on us as we entered the pattern. The XM weather is a very usefull tool!! The Zaon helped a ton as well while flying in the class B down there. Very busy airspace!

Great trip!!! These things are magic carpets!!! I think the wife is sold!

Dolphin was a great FBO. 15 bucks a night tiedown for an RV.

Sounds like a great trip.

Making memories is a great way to go through life.

Sure is!!!

Averaged 180 mph on this 1239 mile trip with a fuel/rest stop half way each direction....Not bad since I still have rough glass and no lower intersection fairings.....
