Crestline Soaring Society

Turned out to be a pretty fine day. Soarable from at least 11 AM on. Rather SE at Marshall early, then mostly S later. Switchy in the LZ from all the thermals popping off until mid-afternoon. My T2 landing just after 1300 was a doozy.

Later the wind started picking up and kept picking up. On the 1430 flight I was up and back to Crestline within a few minutes. On the last flight (16:10) I launched a Sport 2 off the top of the trail to the lower launch with just a couple of steps and climbed right out. Flying at trim (22 MPH airspeed) I had maybe 1 MPH groundspeed at times. Good steady wind at the LZ for landings. Air felt moist, like something was coming, maybe.
