Dickey Ridge Wednesday

Post by stevek »

Gary Smith and I flew Dickey's today. Initally very light. Gary never really hit anything and sank out. I cut way left and and found enough to hang on for a while. Then it got easier. Pretty soon I was just boating around. Went all the way doww to the Gooney Manor overlook (two overlooks south). Boatin and Boatin, Better and better but also stronger and stronger. Could see the trees rocking. Started getting worried and wished I had actually looked at the weather. The LZ is horrible if it is blowing. Panicked and landed. Uneventful.

Hiked up. Beautiful day.

Gary brought out his Zagi after. I tried it but I stink.
