Ft Collins, Colorado to Puerto Rico

4500nm trip, including 900nm across the water from Miami to Puerto Rico.

Todd bought Phoenix serial number 12, and we flew it to his home in San Juan together.

We had nice weather across the US except for Florida, where we had to detour to Jacksonville to get on the east side of the overdevelopment and fly down the coast to Vero Beach.

We donned self-inflating life jackets with strobes for the over water portion of the trip.  No life raft, as the 30/1 glide of the Phoenix kept us within reach of land all the way.  We also carried two EPIRBs and a marine radio.

The Phoenix drew a crowd wherever we went.

Thanks for the trip Todd, and thanks Denise for helping arrange the flight paperwork and taking care of us upon arrival in Puerto Rico.  You two are going to have fun with the Phoenix!
