Rainy Saturday

This is what we woke up to Saturday morning at Maytown Lake.  It slowly got better and finally the rain stopped, but it was still cold with a fairly strong wind.  A few more flyers showed up to join the ones who had spent the night.

One of the new flyers brought this twice sized Flying W with folding wings.  It is an enlarged version of the one in yesterday's video.  It flew fine, but he only stayed for one flight and left because he was cold.

I was really interested in seeing this Sikorsky fly, but the rough water and wind kept it from making it's first flight.  He built it 5 years ago and decided it was time for it to fly.  I took some video of the attempt and I will put a link at the end.  By noon there was not much activity, so after lunch we decided to head home a day early.  Since we were not in a hurry, we took the slow way home and explored some new roads.  As we normally do, we kept an eye out for unusual 

buildings.  It is sad how many old barns are left to fall apart.  We had a nice relaxed ride home and got home about 3:30, by 4:00 we had most of our stuff unloaded and settled in for a nice evening at home.

Here is the link to the Sikorsky attempt.
