Leg#4: Yakutat(PAYA) to Gustavus(PAGS)
Flight Time: 1 Hour 39 Minutes
Distance: 137 NM
Total Time Flown: 5 Hours 16 Minues
Total Distance: 458 NM


So after my tearful Goodbye in Yakutat. I headed off for Gustavus. To my delight, Yakutat Lodge makes one heck of a breakfast, so I was good to go after my 3 nights in a tent. The weather wasnt' the most cooperative for this leg, but I figured it was good enough to make the trip. Minus the weather, the trip was rather uneventful. My New Super Cub took to the air like a rocket on crack. This thing loves to fly. So I spent my time flyin nice and low and enjoying what scenery I could see in the haze. I had to follow a lot of coastlines to dodge a lot of mountains and stay below the clouds. Maybe I should have stayed one more night in Yakutat

Here's some photos from the flight.

Headin off into the Sunrise(shouldn't that be sunset? )


The clouds are awfully low today.


Just loving the standard Super Cub Green tinted windows..


Well, the winter's already startin to get close in some places. Wonder what this means for my farther north flights. Glad I brought that way below zero sleeping bag.


I'm really starting to question flying today...


there's some unusual Geography out here...


I made it into Gustavus with a sigh of relief as the weather started to clear up. Well, It'll be off to Juneau next. I'm starting to think that my little aircraft needs an ADF. We'll have to see if I can find one here and a mechanic to install it.
