Pulpit weekend

Post by XCanytime »

It's looking more and more like a stellar Pulpit weekend. Take your pick of either day. Should make up plenty for the light day there on 11/4. Temps mid-40s both days. Should be plenty of clouds marking lift as well: XC time.

We are busy in the morning but hope to show up at the Pulpit with the PGs at around 3.

I will come and be there very early in the morning. What's the chance of direction changes towards High Rock? I see very light wind speeds (4-6) and I'm inclined to think that High Rock may be more rewarding in terms of thermal activity.

It's almost always blowing 5 mph stronger at the pulpit, at least near launch.

Pulpit Sunday Now

Post by Matthew »

We changed out minds. Sunday is now looing better and Saturday is looking very light. So instead of rushing up to the Pulpit late Saturday, we're planning on going there on Sunday.

I don't see any differences of velocity between Sunday and Saturday and I really think it will be so light that even the Pulpit won't make a difference, just like last time. So why the long drive? I'll check again in the morning and decide then.

Okay. Maybe we will make it up to the Pulpit on Saturday. Depends on what time we get done playing polo.

Two weeks ago a huge high pressure was right over the Pulpit midday. Tomorrow is going to be entirely different.

I am going to start towards the pulpit. Still time to go back to the Rock. Will arrive at pulpit around 10:30.... unless I see something on the way that makes me go directly to the rock.

I think it's going to be pretty cross, but will head toward Pulpit
since that's where everyone is headed... Up for diverting to
High Rock on the way if conditions seem to warrant that, feel
free to call!
