On May 4th the force was with me :)

I am not going to say much as the track is self explanatory. If I didn't have time constraints could have soared for hours. It was "coastal" conditions, perhaps that sums it right. When I pushed off from the ridge towards LZ, there was lift everywhere so I kept the bar pulled in. When I did let it out I started climbing immediately and was on full VG.

All credit goes to Bacil, who came out without his glider only so I could fly. True champ!

Here's the track.
