Saturday morning we departed the YSN at 0900 bound for Sault. By now, we were used to the horrible wx created by the lakes but were hoping for the best.
By 1000 we were already needing to divert due to a white wall of miserable conditions, leading from the ground to an unknown altitude. We spent a good portion of our Saturday at YKF and finally a window of opportunity opened late afternoon.
We scrambled our belongings and made our way to Sault. After witnessing a beautiful sunset during our cruise; we began our descent/approach ending off our 3 hr. flight.
We called it a day and traveled into town for the night. Thankfully we were granted the pilot rate at the local hotel, which also offered a free shuttle to and from the airport. Despite the wx and havoc that comes with flying, I believe the benefits still out-way the bad!
