Departing on leg 2, CYPS to CYCG. Slightly different fuel saving strategy this time after my Legacy was a bit thirsty on the first leg.
On the ground at CYCG. No thanks to a crosswind gusting up to 25kts on landing.

Much better fuel economy this time, it looks like my strategy change might pay off.

Oops, forgot my pre-takeoff post... just left KSFF for OR12.
