1000km Soaring Weather coming to NV CA SW U.S. - Fri-Sun 06/23-25
My mistake, and my apologies, Mike.
That still doesn't help me explain my inability to fly away from the
field...
Kevin Wayt got out significantly earlier than I did (and is much more
experienced than I am, despite my 19:1 handicap).
It just seemed like the planets came into alignment: you guys
predicting 1000k days made me think I could eek out a 500k (in my 1-26)
with ease, it WAS a weekend day (e.g., didn't have to call in sick or
burn a vacation day or miss a meeting...), I was able to shanghai my
crew, hotels were available (e.g., not a holiday weekend). This
weekend (holiday) the hotels are likely to be booked, part of the crew
has to work on Monday (ergo, I will be Daddy Daycare on Monday) and I
haven't heard a peep from the Ace Specialized Soaring Forecasters about
great WX (pun intended, Walt!). sigh
Like I said, keep up the forecasting, even if you're not batting a
thousand -- it helps get me out of the easy chair and into the 1-26!
Great and safe flying to you all,
-Pete
