[f-AA] ###Record in Juneau###- DC-3 ride in P. Rico/St.ThomasUS VI

[Arecit]

Hi Charley,

Sorry 'bout that.  We just finished sampling St. Thomas and the BVI- Tortala and are heading to St. Croix tomallee.  Drats, my partner will take the seaplane (Otter) and I'll have to bum anpther ride in the DC-3.  Another bad day-all in the name of saving the US's fishes (or at least lane, mutton and yellertail snappers).  Hope everyone has a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving too.

Safe skies and swamps,
 Nancie (tred of cutting little pieces of little fish tails and stuffing into vials)

Sounds OK to me !--We have a little cool front moving through--it will be a high of 70 and a low of 53 today.  That's OK though 'cause I see Fairbanks is Severe Clear but -8 and -19--Brrrrr!

Hi Bob,

Not severe clear here in St. Thomas but my spirits are severe clear down in the islands.  Successfully bummed a ride this afternoon, in a DC-3 (Four Star Cargo) between San Juan and St. Thomas-bringing my fish sampling supplies and hazard materials over to St. Thomas for another couple weeks of sampling.  My view from between the pilot/copilot- center isle was 'severe clear' and the pilot was quite generous to this gawking champ/cub pilot in making sure she took in a lot of information 'bout the plane both before, during and after the flight.  A beautiful masterfully orchestrated takeoff  from San Juan P. Rico, and as craftsman like well done wheel landing at St. Thomas.   I spent another hour or so afterwards chatting with the pilot, retired some three times from regular flying, talking champs, cubs, and plane ole plane talk.  It's a drag being a poor biologist and having to bum rides but, geepers if all my rides could be like thi s one.    Not sure if my partner/sampler gen
 eticist (from College Station, Texas) was as enthralled as myself but I didn't even give that much thought, just told him to get in, buckle up and enjoy!

Safe skies and swamps,

Nancie, Suzie Q and ole ratty/clankitty Jerry- aka Bill's ole cub

Gregg, 
You might want to come down here to Sunny S/W Florida where it will be 
severe clear and 78f today--you could do a little research on EXPERIMENTAL
