Blogging from the road

So using my Treo, I'm going to try to update my blog via email while I'm hanging out around airports waiting to get airborne again.

This morning I'm still in Prince George. We've been watching the weather in Bella Bella, waiting for it to improve. Often throughout the summer, airports on the coast of BC become shrouded in marine fog, which moves in from the ocean over night. Sometimes the fog hangs around so long that we might only have a few hours where the weather is good enough for us to get in before it closes up again.

Upon arrival at work this morning Bella Bella was 1 1/2 a mile and overcast at 400'. It's improved now to a visibility of 9 miles or better and has been flirting with the 500' ceiling that would be the minimum ceiling required for us to make it in. Feeling that the trend is upward, we're going to launch here in 30 minutes for the one hour flight, and we feel we'll have no problems making it in.
