The weather forecast looks promising to Pulpit this Sunday.
Actually, we may have several days of WNW at Pulpit next week during week.

Thoughts?

As of today's XC Skies forecast it looks like the Pulpit is a good choice for hg on Sunday though cool in the 40's. I might be considering it.

Planning for the Pulpit in the afternoon. Lighter winds probably ramping up with thermals in the afternoon could produce some nice conditions. Going to SB to fly with Bacil in the morning.

Would love to join you guys on Sunday, but unfortunately I have to work. Though, the good news is that I'll be off Sunday's and Monday's, starting April 14nd.
Looking forward getting back to weekend flying soon.

Planning to be there by noon
Not sure I will be able to fly : too cold for a hot Brazilian guy! But I will be delighted to assist

HOWEVER, the rest of the week looks very promising: 60F , moderate WNW/WSW winds, sunny!

I can fly Wednesday/Thursday/ Friday next week.
Hopefully I will be able to find some slackers / retired pilots to join me
