No altitude nor air speed indicator, hmmmmm

Hi all,

Since yesterday I'm a bit more confident about my piloting.
The two of us had planned a trip to an island on our north coast for
lunch.
Really looking forward to this because we had some bad weather for the
last several weeks.
So after fuelling, preflight etc. I pushed the throttle forward for
what we thought was going to be a nice day out.
Well, this was not going to happen.
Overhead the oppiste threshold I noticed that my airspeed was 45kts
and altitude 100ft, not the normal values.
Ok, I have to watch this.
10 seconds later still the same indications and no vsi either.
Ahah, a static port problem.
I mentioned to my passenger who is also a good friend that we are not
going have that lunch.
Oh, why is that?, she asks.
Well, we do not have this and that and this thing here is not working
either.
Uh, you explained that these things are important, now what?
We are going back, but do not panick as long as we keep flying there
is nothing to worry about.
So, I called the tower that we are coming back with the notion that I
do not have air speed or altitude indication.
About 5 minutes later we made a smooth landing exactly on the numbers.
Maybe a bit faster than usually and I felt the tyres touching the
runway instead of the normal feeling that we are rolling and not
flying anymore.

My passenger said that it was a nice landing all things considered and
that she was not scarred a moment just not completely at ease.

Now I know I can land my plane without instruments and I feel a lot
more safer knowing this.

Bye,
Kees

P.S. Now it is waiting for the bill from the maintenance guys.
