Crestline Soaring Society

Flew Crestline today flying was awesome. Flew for 2hrs 15 mins.
Launched around 1:15 from Crestline. After boating around
for about 40 mins hooked a big fat one at Billboard and climbed to
8500. Passed Mike Zeller on his U2 on the way up. Flew with Jonathon, Mike, Mark and myself. Flew over to Pine with lots of altitude to burn. Didn't seem like much going on back to Crestline. Got back to Billboard with altitude to spare and once again found really good lift. Got above 8000 4 times during flight. 3:15 headed for Marshall. Had a commitment to land by 4.
3:30 circling over LZ spinning off altitude. Made the worst landing I've ever executed at Crestline absolute pilot error. Set up downwind
and base without ever looking at the LZ. Fixated on tree tops
turned final to find I was way to high, but not high enough to go around. No way gonna land on top opted to land on the east of LZ
but the area was protected and glider went into a long glide eventually flairing into the birm at the riverbed. Only quarter of mile overshoot. Second error I should have turned right after clearing end of LZ thus putting me into the bailout LZ. No tubeage, but lots of Crow to Eat. Thanks everyone for a fun day.
Checked Vario 19000 ft total gain in 2 hrs. Not bad for a winter day?
