Hurry Up and Wait

We are waiting for the winds to taper off down at Patriot Hills. We received our first weather update at 9:30 a.m. this morning and it didn’t look too favorable. They were getting a crosswind that wind that was gusting to about 25 knots. The noon update was even less optimistic, with gusts to 30 knots. We decided to keep our rooms for the evening, just in case we cannot fly today.

The most recent update looks much better with a decreasing trend in wind velocity. We are all keeping our fingers crossed that we’ll be boarding the plane this evening. The next weather call will be at 6 p.m. and if things still look good, I expect that we’ll head out to the airport. As they say, “Vamos a ver…”
