Dear Friends,

What can I say? It feels good to be back in the USA. I know many of you are wondering about my experience crossing the treacherous North Pacific—I assure you it was a challenge. I saw cloud formations I’d never seen in my life and saw winds shift from almost every direction, gusting to 80 knots (92 miles per hour). Thanks to the great teamwork with Universal Weather, I was able to shorten the distance by 100 miles, but the flight was definitely a greater challenge than the North Atlantic. Yet the same thing happened on this flight as on my North Atlantic crossing—God opened up a window between two low pressure storm systems. Visibility was very poor and the ride was a bit turbulent, but there was just enough visibility for me to land at Shemya. During this time of year it is normally zero/zero visibility, but God spared me one more time after I patiently waited in Japan for more than two weeks.

Just when I thought I’d seen enough earthly beauty, Alaska offered a most exciting view from the sky. The weather was similar to crossing the North Pacific, but I was able to see a few inactive volcanoes and the beautiful coast and mountainous regions of Alaska about 260 miles south of Anchorage. It was beauty beyond words that lasted though the evening—sunset occurs there around midnight.

I’m now in Juneau, waiting for thunderstorms to pass through British Columbia. I’ll post more photos soon.
