I ended up venturing out to PEMAC despite the wind.
When I got to the field I was surprised to see the lake that they had a the eastern end of the strip, it was a good 10m in diameter and 100mm deep. There were also a number smaller swampy areas scattered over the strip as well. It seems that we are not the only ones struggling with the weather.
Anyhow I had several flights in the breeze that would not die down and managed to miss the puddles when landing so it wasn't a completely wasted trip. It was encouraging to see the improvements that PEMAC has done to their field - well done to them.
I can't make it tomorrow to Area 51 so have a good time and I hope the winds are favourable.
