Stuck in Reykjavik
The winds are blowing too hard from Goose Bay, Canada to Narsarsuaq, Greenland to permit a safe flight with adequate fuel. We could get from Iceland to Greenland but then we'd be stuck there as the headwinds are from 30-50 knots. We've made the decision to stay another day in Iceland and try tomorrow. This until Friday when we will have to abort the trip since we all have a schedule to keep next week. It will be a great disappointment not to get further on the trip, but we just can't take the risk to run against the wind.
The shorter route North is definitely not a choice since all Northern airports are out of AVgas and the ships can not resupply until August when the ice in the ocean melts.
Spent the day sorting out electronics, airplane manuals and visiting the local sites.
A group of Piper Meridian pilots took off this morning. They burn Jet-A1 so they had choices. My next plane will be a Jet fuel burner!!!
I've posted some new tourist photos from the day.

Wise decision ....
And remember : it is all about the journey, not the destination. This is all part of the fun!
Let's cross our fingers for tomorrow.
All the best
