Up the coast, forcaast was 2300 ovc and 10, actual was more like 700 and 5 and getting worse as a cold front was sweeping down. Got to west palm beach approach, and they tell me the field had gone IFR, I would have to go around the field.. .. .Well, going out over ocean in a Robbie without floatation, hehe, not! Was going to investigate going west around WPB, when he offered me that, (We were headed up to Stewart, and this is night BTW...) I asked the current weather at Stewart and he states "Stewart is VFR, 2300 ovc and 10 miles" .... .. ."But so were you a minute ago hehe ... We're turnin around...". .. .Always better to be on the ground wishing I was flying than in the air wishing I was on the ground.. .. .Someday I'll relate a EC-130Q story about collision avoidance late night with da moon. It's true! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" />
