Crestline Soaring Society

OMG! is what comes out of my mouth. Quadruple record breaker. #1) Max altitude; 14,080' msl. #2) Distance 32 miles.
#3) ground speed;
59 mph on a paraglider.
#4) Max verticle speed; 1584 fpm, UP.
One thermal took me up that high. 25 min into the flight I was at 10K.
'Chuck the cop' launched first on his hang at 1:00 pm. I launched 10 min later at 1:10. 3 turns at the house thermal and then over to Edwards north face,(as there was some north wind). I was rewarded like I have NEVER been rewarded. One thermal from 3800' msl to 14,080' msl. The easiest thermal I have ever been in. Fat, soft edges, and FAT. Me and Chuck were shouting altitudes to each other and he left for the beach at a measly 12.3K. Of course he was on a hang so he arrived over the beach at 4K. He landed south of Doheny Beach about a half mile. I landed on the golf course next to Salt Creek Beach, in Laguna Nigel. The long way to the beach. San Clemente would have been only 22 mile. I lost the 74 hiway right away and went for fastest ground speed. I got 58.9 mph on a paraglider. Long time over 50 mph. Second time trying the beach and got off course. Oh well.
14K, 1 hr and 5 min flight, 32 miles, 1584 fpm UP. And Laguna Nigel.
And tomorrow looks just as good.
