Saturday afternoon I met my new instructor; Plan A was to do the day and
night VFR duals back to back, and plan B was just to do the day. Due to
the
interesting weather, we came up with this: Paine to Tacoma
(repositioning
flight), start the clock and a new line in the logbook, Tacoma to Blaine
(103nm), back to Paine (2.2 hours from Tacoma to Paine).

Your "original point of departure" remains Paine - the way you log it
makes
no difference. Your CFI should know better. I'm sure it was a fun flight
though.

Hmmm - Lynch's FAQ does seem to permit the interpretation of a separate
repositioning flight, although the wording is a little truncated (see around
page 8 of the latest update). In practice the repositioning leg was a
specifically useful part of the whole training experience.
