Default Jay Honeck must get an instrument rating

and my last flight...
Stevens Point, WI KSTE to Fort Lauderdale, FL KFXE and back to KSTE
myself and one of my partners flew alternate legs
Departed 7pm Friday evening
Arrived back home 9:30pm Saturday evening
17 hours of flying
11 hours of night
8 hours of IFR
3 night landings
1 day time ILS due to haze
Plenty of traffic and controllers in southern FL denying VFR flight
following through some very congested airspace.

No hard IFR. With a good handle on the weather, our only ongoing concern
was ground fog. Without our instrument tickets it would have been a very
extended, circumnavigating, and exhausting flight.
