Harold, Dec 2nd

After some “new flying” at least for me, we ended up in Veracruz today. We left Monterrey for Puebla via a refueling at Ciudad Victoria but 120 miles from Puebla hit some low weather & rain, we went east, tried up, tried down but nothing worked. We then went to Tampico for fuel and by this time we had Veracruz weather which was OK so we headed to Veracruz arriving ~ 10 minutes before sundown.

We expect the weather will let us cross in the AM so hope to be in Puebla before noon of Dec 3rd

We most definitely need to fix our tracker, we have several disappointed people who were tracking us, mind you today’s route really underscored our name "the lost ducks". Never have I flow in so much rain and our course was anything but a straight line – ducks fly at 200 feet right?

Barb, we hope to see you in Puebla for coffee at 10.

Hi Lost Ducks
Hoping you landed! Am thinkin flying through the Rogers Pass was fine sailing compared to down south. Hoping you're keeping your eyes open for ducks flying in the opposite direction at those low altitudes. Now for the next leg...dare to dream. One lame duck at home, Marjie
