Padre Solo Photo Shoot

Fun trip! Beautiful morning .. decided to make a fun trip and just fly down the beach and back. Logged 1.5 hrs on the Hobbs.

Left Crp @ 9:30 AM on 17 ( winds 180 @ 12 ) departed north and then east alone the coast. Flew over Aransas Pass .. taking pics of the Offshore rigs under construction. Followed Aransas around .. then jumped across to Port Aransas .. circled and then headed south.

Had flight following from the ATC .. real nice guy .. helped me in / out of the NGP D space .. made it down to Packery Channel and then headed back north along the beach. Got some good pics of a number of land developments going down (need a better camera) .. with AP on.

Got to PortA .. then headed back west working my way around CC Bay .. finally for a straight in on Crp 17 (winds 170 @ 12).

Did not land anywhere .. hmm .. wonder if this counts as XCountry time... doesn't matter because I really enjoyed the flight and it was another time away from Crp solo. I'm gonig to do more of these to keep my interest level up and to remind myself why I'm doing this.
