No worries Curlytips, you did great.
I never used to be risk averse, but as you get older.......
My Husky is on a farm and I would have had to open four massive heavy doors which would have taken off their hinges had I tried to open them on my own that morning and probably taken me with them!
The aircraft is placarded with a 12 mph max Xwind component.
25kts never bothered me in Piper nosewheel singles at another airport with a Rwy 15/33.

There were also two Chipmunks; a Fournier flown by a pilot who had landed on the strips the previous week; a Pitts flown by a professional pilot, an Auster flown by another farm stripper; and the Bulldog flown by an A/L captain and a retired one.

We will all get another opportunity one day.
