Tomorrow looks good all over, likely very good... I'm thinking of Highland ... XC. Buehler?

It is looking promising. Do you have a driver?

I've been looking at Friday for a few days. I think it's going to be absolutely stellar today on the peninsula. 500 ft/min lift to 8K and you should be able to consistently get to 6K. You should have cloud markers. Winds NW with a bit of a breeze but nothing unmanageable. Unfortunately I'm all tied up at work. Let us know how it goes!

no driver as yet... but I may be able to scratch one up. I'm hoping anyway, won't know until I get there, about 11:30.

Fairly breezy on the surface early but got lighter periods starting around 2:00 PM. Only John Simon, John Hope, Eugenie (sp?), myself, and a female solo pilots in attendance besides some tandems. John SImon got the longest flight (1:45), I got 1:15 (towing at 3:20) and got to 5,000 AGL and later to 4500 AGL. Some good lift, some sink, reasonably good flyig day for me.
