Hey, I got out! I’m home in Lynden! I kept seeing holes drift by the north end of 34 but they were too high and close for me to climb up into. I was waiting for a lower track, but I decided to taxi to the 16 hold short and saw a big hole between the airport and Soucia. I taxied back and blasted off and climbed up through it. They were all over the place and flowing southeast like a river. I couldn’t see them well enough from the office, it was only after I had a look up close that I spotted it. I took some pics on the way back, these aren’t as big as what I climbed up through but you get the idea. Boy am I glad to be out of that fog and safely home. Patience rewarded!! 👍👍

Update: it’s almost 10:30 AM and this stubborn fog refuses to burn off or blow out to sea. Patience is key, I’ll let you know when I’m home. Photo - that’s Ginger on the KORS we**am.

Well, after 36 years of flying, it finally happened. Today was my first flight after getting Ginger back from annual inspection, she was running perfectly and the sky was a bright sunny blue sky. A couple of friends and I decided Ocas Island (KORS) would be a great place to get lunch. Flying over there was a broken layer of marine fog near the airport and the runway was obscured during a right downwind to runway 34. Everything from base to final was textbook normal, visibility under the layer was 10+ statute miles. Our view from the restaurant was spectacular and shows how nice the day was, but the photo my wife took from Bellingham clearly shows the fog rolling in on Orcas Island. Within two hours that broken marine fog would engulf the island, trapping me there for the night. Ironically this was the only island to go low IFR, skies in all directions were clear! This is a non-towered field in class E airspace surrounded by ocean waters, in theory I could stay low and fly out from under the scud, but that isn’t safe when visibility is 1/4 of a mile with a 300’ or less ceiling. I would not want to push and become one of “those pilots”, the statistic, that pushes into IMC for no good reason. So, I parked Ginger, tied her down and locked her up and headed into town to find a room for the night. Safety first, tomorrow will bring better skies, sure I’d like to be home but doing this won’t put me in the next Bloncolirio or Pilot Debrief video. (Photo credit: Greg Bell 1.)

One of my favorite things about living at an airpark is the “waterfowl abatement program”. Basically it goes like this, ducks eat your lawn until the loudest Cessna 170 in the Northwest flies past on takeoff. That’s how we scatter the ducks and save our lawns! Haha!! 😉

Wishing all of our friends and family a very Merry Christmas!
