I dunno:
"and the wind was more southerly so the GPS gave me a three-figure ground
speed."
seems lot o'l Dot can lift her skirts and hum along in the right

Sunday am, wind about 25 kts from the south, lowish cloud, drizzly
rain, but forecast to clear later on, so I postpone the trip to
Kangaroo Island to visit the Old Man until Sunday arvo.
After lunch I drag Dorothy out of the hangar into the fresh breeze,
shut the doors and crank up. Dorothy comes off the ground like a
startled rabbit and we hit 400' before we cross the far end fence.
Wind...

Provided you go to Keppel Is via the *northern* tip (of the Berserkers) to
avoid polluting my water supply and swimming pool with your ever present oil
miasma, I look forward to it as well :-)
Stealth has (or did have) my private contact details - feel free any time.
