Time to start our return journey. First we needed to return to Groton, luckily rather a shorter journey this time stopping at a supermarket to buy supplies for lunch. On arrival at Groton while Phil and Ed prepared G-PTXC and loaded the luggage, Anthony dealt with the advance customs notification to Canada which involved a long wait on the telephone and as he discovered later, an enormous telephone bill. Finally we were off climbing up to our cruising height of 31,000 ft and then being given a direct to destination some 860 nm away (in European terms, that is the equivalent to Carlisle to Calvi in Corsica!). Thereafter lunch, ham and cheese buns prepared by Ed in the back!
The weather was good but there was a line of thunderstorms off to our left which needed the occasional weather avoidance turn. Landed at Goose, refuelled and then off to our hotel for flight planning for our return to the UK, a beer and cooking our own steaks at the Trappers Inn. There was thunderstorm activity to the south of Goose and heavy showers during the night.
