Narrative

RETURNING FROM CMH TO W29 DEST WAS BELOW A CLOUD DECK. FORECAST HAD BEEN FOR GOOD VFR. WAS NOT IFR CURRENT AND DECLINED OFFER OF IFR CLRNC FROM ATC (BALTIMORE APCH). RETURNED TO THE NW OF THE CLASS B AIRSPACE AND DSNDED BELOW THE CLOUD DECK IN VFR CONDITIONS. WHILE RETURNING TO W29 I THOUGHT WE WERE CLRED TO BALTIMORE THEN W29. APPARENTLY; THE VFR CLRNC WAS TO FORT MEADE THEN W29. THE CTLR ADVISED ME OF THE MISTAKE AND ISSUED A VECTOR TO FORT MEADE. I AM ASSUMING THAT I DID MAKE A MISTAKE. WHILE TRYING TO GET THE NAV TO THE NEW DEST WORKED OUT WE MISSED A FREQ CHANGE. ALL OF THIS WAS HAPPENING WHILE TRYING TO STAY VFR. IN ALL FAIRNESS THE CTLRS WERE GREAT. I WAS RETURNING FROM COLUMBUS AFTER WORKING THE LAST 4 DAYS AT A TRADE SHOW. I WAS UP AT EARLY AM THAT MORNING TO RETURN TO BALTIMORE. WX WAS CHKED BEFORE DEPARTING AND ENRTE. ALL RPTS WERE FOR GOOD VFR. BY THE TIME I REACHED THE ANNAPOLIS AREA CEILING WAS DOWN TO 1000 FT WITH RAIN AND DECIDED ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH. LANDED AT THE LEE ARPT ABSOLUTELY EXHAUSTED. I WAS SURPRISED AT MY FATIGUE. I DO FEEL THAT I MADE GOOD DECISIONS IN STAYING VFR; STAYING LEGAL AND LNDG WHEN I DID. UNFORTUNATELY I MAY HAVE MISSED OR MISUNDERSTOOD A CLRNC AND FREQ CHANGE.
