Round the Poles- leg 1, part 8-end of leg 1

When ATC finally clears me to descend, I try to get down quickly.

The airport is VFR, but as soon as I level off at 2000 I'm in the soup.

ATC vectors me towards the runway, and soon enough I think I can just barely see it.

"Runway in sight"...and time to dump flaps and gear.

I need to stop using the autopilot so much: my final is a little jittery. The crosswind isn't helping, either...

A little more airspeed will keep me closer to the centerline next time... but not a bad landing, really.

A look at ATC's vectors to final; not too roundabout this time... and a look at the entire course. Had a decent amount of fuel left when I arrived, but I have to cut the consumption down more for upcoming legs.
