Friday 13

Three Crestliners and three Eteamers flew together over Crestline.
All of us had 2 hrs plus flights. 1200 over billbard was the highest anybody mentioned. I screwed up and forgot to tie a not in my Ultrasport VG chord after replacing downtube and it flew pretty poorly after the chord sucked up the downtube. I sank out and was in the landing pattern with two paragliders, harness unzipped when I core a big fat one and climbed up over Marshall. Found a second boomer behind Marshall and climbed to 5500. Flew back to Crestline and met up with the bunch. Got to 6000 in a really strong thermal, but the drift was hard over the back and no vg I felt like I was flying a falcon, so I had to pull out and return to the ridge. We got to watch Eric Delf do loops and swoop the Marshall launch on his Talon. After flying there was a birthday celebration in the LZ so we were treated to hot dogs and all the
goodies including cold beer. Pretty good day all in all.
