ok. The reason that we are going so slow is because we have a 33 knot left quartering head wind.

I know why you are winning. I had trouble starting my engines at the PAMR. I got the Left one started ok, but then the right wouldn't start, so I went through the checklists again and got it to start the 2nd time.
