Saturday 9/8 at Highland

[CraginS]

Winds were stronger than expected, and in a cloudless sky it was mostly sleds and extendos. It took me two tries to add up a half hour of flight time, but I was very pleased with my tows and landings.
Pilots included Mark C, Carlos W, Ric N, Christian T, Chris McK, Daniel B, John M, Tom McG, Viktor, and Roger from NJ (new solo pilot).
Ric had FotD, reaching 5K in a fast drift for a 42 minute, one thermal, 10 mile XC, not quite making it home as planned. The best entertainment was Mark's first landing. The quote from Pogo, "We have met the enemy, and he is us," was never more appropriate. Ask Mark about pogo.
