Whited out a couple of times at 5100 over. 7k msl where it was a balmy 17 degrees.
Unfortunately, it picked up right after I launched so the rest of the crew, Tom Nelson, John Simon and Wesley had to wait around until almost sunset until it backed off. Nelson bagged it but the rest had short soaring flights. I had to land in rowdy, strong air which wasn't fun. But I survived and thought (pick one) A. Damn I'm good. B. What the hell you flyin around in that crap for you stupid old geezer?

Well Friday was better.? We waited until 4:30 to launch with a nice 10-12 straight in.? I got 1300 over and found life way out in the valley.? Just Sparky, Linda(who got off late for her first Woodstock flight) and another person with Adam.
