Data logger track from TVAR III.
This
is what not double-checking your GPS waypoint entries will get you.
I rounded Turn 3 and after my usual fumbling around
picked up the dashed line to head for Turn4, the island.
After a short while I saw a plane passing overhead - it was
Anne Elise.
I thought, "Wow, is SHE lost!"
Then I zoomed out on the GPS - I had zoomed in on the
last turn - and saw that I was heading to Courtland - I was the one lost!
I manually set
the next waypoint to what I had entered for the island thinking I have made a mistake programming the route. Hit direct,
and still had a dashed line to Courtland.
I had entered the waypoint lat long incorrectly, apparently the lat long for
the end of the run way at Courtland.
By this time I was at the river and knew I had to go West to find the island,
which I eventually did, then headed for the finish line.
Learn from my mistake! Check - and then double-check!
