Re: Ridgely 9/5
Turned out cloud base only about 3,000 and be a bit windier than forecast but it settled down around 2:30 - 3:00. Bob towed up to test fly a glider and after landing said there was good lift. Steve K then a pilot from FLA and then me. Shortly after release got rained on because the whole area was OD and lift was diminishing. Got a little over 30 min and Steve K got 55 min. After breaking down the sky cleared but the OD earlier had really shut down the lift and the wind.
