At one point in the flight, I thought it might be a good day to see how far south toward Pacifica I could go...About 1/2 way to the pier, lift petered out and it was time to head back north.
I managed to work my way a pretty good distance south into Pacifica regardless...
The first flight delivered a shear to 1315'...the second flight of the day delivered a shear to 1476' with super smooth conditions once we got above the mixing layer...
There was a nice stack of gliders in the second shear with me yesterday...Eric Mies, Tim West, Chris Cornbill, Doctor Darrell, and Patrick were all boating around with me.The day delivered two really great flights in conditions that continued to build throughout the day. At the end of the second flight, Tim West and I raced back from Westlake. I brought it into the LZ from that final glide for a nice landing. The beer was 50-feet from where I parked my glider...great day!
First flight: 44 minutes, 1315' MSL
Second flight: 46 minutes, 1476' MSL
Mom and Dad arrive Tuesday morning for a month-long visit...Mom says she wants to visit all the tunnels in the Bay Area, so that is what we'll do...
