Yesterday (Saturday) the forecast was for more wind than I wanted. Reality appeared to be calmer than predicted, but still not desirable.

This morning was originally forecast zero wind, but the morning forecast was light. Much better than yesterday. Nice slow departure to the north, dropping to tree top level whenever we were clear of homes.

We saw an animal paddling around in a backyard pool. If they were lucky, it was just the cat out for a swim. Otherwise, it was black and looked like it had a white stripe!

After a low pass over Fort Pond, we aimed for the neighborhood at RT 2A and Packard Lane. They remember our past landings there.
