Re: Pulpit Sunday
Light for HG.
High inversion level. It looks like a thermal day. It looks too active for my PG experience level.
Heading to Ridgely

Carlos,
We plan to be at the LZ around noon.
If you want to carpool or sync call me, I tried to reach you but your cell is off?

Re: Pulpit Sunday
Matt and Peter flew twice. As the wind picked up at launch around 3-4PM we had opted not for parawaiting to have an evening flight.
I flew once and landed in Greencastle not too far from the sheetz.
Conditions on launch were light but with thermals to take off easily. Once in the air it was not as easy. Matt pulled of a magic low safe above the LZ on his first flight. I drifted with a thermal 1400masl OTB, after that in the valley, I was patient and got to 2000masl when I aborted the thermal to go for more. There were several inversion layers. Just before Greencastle I screwed up as I was flying probably next to the thermal. I thought it was in front but finally found it at my left and scratched low close towards the sheetz. During most of the time a high Cirrus cut of stronger thermals. There were maybe 2-3 cummies so quite blue. Wind aloft was NW with SW to NW at launch.
