EQDC3: Leg 8, part 1

[beaky]

Departing with the sunrise from Eldoret... I'll be flying all the way across Africa this time, to Port Gentil, Gabon, on the west coast.








Once I turn west, I see some clouds ahead... bummer. Was hoping to get a good look at Lake Victoria...








There's a decent break in the clouds as I skirt the northern shore of this vast lake...







Then the ground is blanketed in haze. But i'm still VFR, and EQDC3 is trimmed out nicely with not quite a full load of fuel.





Near the border between Uganda and the D.R. of the Congo, the Muller Mountains loom...making good time. I think i have a tailwind.






Some big mountains here...I've laid my course well, through a gap in the range.





Hmmm... did I forget a piece of SRTM mesh, or...?





Next: part 2 of Eldoret-Port Gentil
