Tropical Storm Andrea

This morning it became apparent that we are in for some really wet weather. When I went camping a few weeks ago I found out that my airplane leaks in the rain, but because of that experience I know where she leaks. I have a cover on order that will solve this problem but it won’t be ready until next week. So with Tropical Storm Andrea headed our way I decided to see what I could do about the leaks. First I went for a quick flight back to the “big” airport to fuel her up and then I flew back and tied her down again. Too nice a day to not go for at least a short flight.

Mr Bennett came out with some new ropes and we tied her down really good.  I’m sure some water will leak in but it won’t hurt anything. the worst weather will be late tomorrow afternoon through tomorrow evening. Tomorrow is Friday and I’ll try to check on her at some point.
