Kalgoorlie to Forrest with the wind at our back

The pilot and navigator had a breakfast weather consultation. For the first time the weather decided to play a part on this grand adventure. After some data searching and discussion we decided to fly on. The trip went as expected although no auto pilot was possible! We followed the Indian Pacific rail line and saw the train making its way west to Perth. With a healthy tail wind we arrived to a blistering windy day in Forrest - the wind was 48kph gusting to 63kph, fortunately most of this was straight down the runway. Our hosts Kate and Greg helped us to put Jabi to bed in a palatial private hangar and organised lunch for the Flying Nabateans.
