Amazing Day at the E

Blew in all day. When we did vehicle retrieval it was just turning at 4:30. Do I need to say it was hot. 106-111. There were 6 hangs and approximately 4 PG's All did really well and scored several hours of airtime. Everyday Mike landed last with
almost 5 hrs of airtime. He could have stayed up even longer, but
the Coors Light sucked him out of the Sky. Eric Delf had the flight of the day with 4hrs airtime and multiple trips from South towers to Saddleback reaching 9K twice. I did really well logging another 2 hrs and touching 7K. Got a little crowed over the spine for the first half hour. The convergence failed to come through and thermals were topping out at 3K leaving us banging wingtips together. Finally at about 1:15 the thermals began to pop and we all climbed to at least 6K. Flew with a gaggle of Vulchers directly infront of me I was looking at their 6's.
