Day One Of Three

We're on a three day charter that orginated in Saskatoon this morning at about 0800 when we lifted off of RWY27 in an almost 20 knot cross wind. We climbed through scattered layer of clouds at 1200 feet and then lost site of the ground thruogh 5800 as we passed through the ceiling. In another 1000 feet or so we emerged on the sunny side and proceeded to climb to Flight Level 190, but when we reached FL190 we decided to continue up to FL210 in hopes of lesser winds on the nose. So after getting clearance from Winnipeg Center we jumped up to 21,000 feet where we remained for the rest of the two hour flight to Collins Bay.
The descent was smooth and we were happy to see that the sky was clear and winds were down in Collins for our approach. The passengers on board asked us to fly around the mine site before landing, it was our pleasure to take the 10 minute tour around the mines at 800' AGL(above ground). We landed shortly after 1000 and took a quick ride to the mine site where we got to relax for the rest of the day.
We stay over tonight and in the morning at 0800 hours we continue on with a little more flying then today. Talk to you then...
