Soboba, Saturday October 18, 2008 - Convergence

By Jerome Daoust at 2008-10-18 23:47

Up until 3pm, I wasn't sure if I should high-tail out of Soboba for Marshall or not. And buddies were getting restless. Winds had been cross from the right (West) all afternoon. Then the "what-the-hell-let's-try-anyway" attitude kicked in.
I was rewarded with a steady climb of increasing rate up to 7400', and other pilots rapidly followed. Up at altitude, no cross-wind, just a perfect straight-in at about 9 mph.
Flew over the Casino in company of Joe and Bob: Picture
Then returned, got high again and flew out to an obvious convergence: Picture
Glided further into the valley to under a sailplane: Picture. Then drifted back with it towards Soboba and topped it off: Picture

Flying along the convergence line with Bob and Joe: Picture. We could easily stay up far over the valley.
