Westbound? Nope. all eastbound. Well, in the 152 anyway.

And 130 knots?
What kind of 152 did you fly? !!!

Prolly about 95 knots, tops. The winds up in that part of the world are
variable and not too predictable.Over 100 knots form any direction is
possbile. Forecasting and reporting is much better these days, though,
and of course you can see it on your magic box, whatever that might be,
wheras I just used ADFs and whatever other tricks might have been at
hand.

A Super Duper 152 with a 40 Knot tailwind..

Yikes..that's a lotta time over open water. Did you have room/weight
allowance for all the survival stuff?
