Crestline Soaring Society

Harness was too tight with cold weather jacket and extra twenty pounds of blubber. The side pocket zipper burst open. The radio fell out either walking down to launch or shortly after launching when I zipped up. I hope it was the first.

Thanks,

I arrived at the Edwards launch at 12:20 to find it blowing straight in from the NNE at 8-12 mph. I launched at 12:45 into sink. I turned right and hit a few of the few early thermals all the way to the LZ in 20 min. I watched as another PG launched and maintained and then got up. I saw a second PG and a hang coming from a Rad launch. I drove back up and it had turned pretty east so I went to the E launch. I launched there at 1:45 and flew 20 min of light thermalss all the way to a new lz right by my new house. Very cool. A young lady saw this and offered a ride back up to launch. Very cool. I drove down and stopped a the LZ and found a driver and it was still blowing in at Edwards at 2:45. I launched Edwards at 3:00 and got right up at the North face as it was turning NNW. I caught what seemed like a convergence. I couldn't see it, but the LIFT was there. Wow. To 6K msl. I stayed there till I got tire of flying alone and landed at the tree LZ at 5:05. Hard to get down. I had to use tight spirals and wing overs and assymetric spirals and a horse shoe to get down. Great landing right at the tree.
