KE7QZB KE7QZD KK7RDW

Thank you, Dave. And that brings it to me. This is KE7QZD-PAM, Power Vessel Summation. And I'm back home in Beaux Arts, where it is 43 degrees and totally cloudy. We don't have any wind. And my weather guesser is saying that we aren't going to have rain till later this evening, which is good. I'm going to walk down to the boat and see how it survived these last couple weeks when I've been gone. So I flew in yesterday from Phoenix. I spent the holidays in warmer weather. When I was in Texas, it was 80 degrees for the high end of the day, and then in Phoenix a couple days it got up to 70, but it was mostly in the 60s. So I had a great trip. My son works for Southwest Airlines, so he had convinced me that I could fly non-rev on the way home from Austin to Phoenix, and then from Phoenix to Seattle, and he was right. I had no problems in the airports. They were crowded, but the flights had seats on them, so that was great for me. Got home yesterday and got a few things done, got Harley back here, and we're all happy. So this is KE7QZB. Next is Commodore Roger, KK7RDW. And good morning, Pam, and good morning to the next. This is KK7RDW. Roger, who's working his way through a little bit of a winter cold here at the moment, so it's going to sound a little choppy, I bet. The temperature here is 44 degrees. The barometer is at 29.93. We had just a little over a tenth of an inch of precipitation yesterday, so the decks are damp, but nothing right at the moment. And we've got decent visibility out there. I can see Old Baymitch Island is fine. There's nothing beyond that, so it's probably 15 miles of visibility or something of that sort. And a light breeze out of the east. There goes the Kingston fast ferry headed north. And that is it for Rapid. We're headed over to Fort Madison to try and join up with the minicrews. So that'll be the next thing we're up to. This is KK7 RDW.
