North to South Leg 2 - Gatwicksteve - 01-30-2012

I had a lazy morning at Bettles (PABT) before setting off just after midday for Chena Marina (AK28) just outside of Fairbanks. The weather had started to clear (5 miles vis, scattered clouds) by the time I left...

This is how the approach to AK28 should look

But the low fog meant that it was impossible for me to see..

Fortunately the river Chena was in sight so I set up the approach just south of where the marina should be

I found a small beach to taxi out onto to wait out the fog and reposition to the Marina
