    Hey Fasil it looks like the Pink Delta 767 that narrowly eluded me back in September is scheduled to depart around 4:20PM today- in case you don't have that one yet. Sorry I can't meet up with you, good luck

    I'm off tomorrow 2-1-13 so I was hoping to do some spotting. Right now weather forecast is iffy but if it's good enough to shoot I will be out there.

    My original plan was to spend most of the day at Hobe. However I called it off and went for arrivals due to the high winds. I didnt wanted to shoot at high zoom rate with shaky hands. The breast cancer 764 is scheduled to arrive again tomorrow around 2pm.

    Don B we should be ok with sun and clouds like today with winds from the NW. I will start at Hobe and head back to Panera for the afternoon rish. I will be way in the back of Panera in a green car.

    Strongly considering making the drive down on Saturday morning. At this point it looks very likely that I'll be there.

    What is the status of HoBe these days? Last I had heard it was still closed from Sandy.

    I will most likely be out there tomorrow for a half day of shooting. Morning or afternoon (not sure yet).
    How is the access to Hobe since the storm? I heard the lot was close, but that was a while ago.

    So Manny informs me that Hobe lots are still closed. You could park on the other side of the bridge and walk
    over for a picture or two, but a full morning of spotting may be pushing it.

    Even though the lot is closed, can't you just walk up the beach until you're out of sight from the road?

    Guys you need to stop thinking just because there is no parking there is no spotting. God made yoi with two legs so put them to good use. If there is no parking then loose the car. I ended up shotting the entire morning and the park on both sides is closed. hmmm I wonder what I did?
