Things are finally looking better for a spring Florida soaring season. As of today I am glad to announce that the surface water and the air is dryer that it was last year at the same time. Last year December was a disaster because of torrential downpours. This year, we are still way above yearly rainfall things are finally looking optimistic for the near future.
Strong winds and dryer air are having an impact on the humidity and precipitation. Not to say that we can look forward to the conditions of several years past, but we are definitely improving.
The next 4 to 6 weeks will make the difference between so so and good conditions. Hopefully we can all stay clear of COVID and come to Florida for some good winter soaring. We invite you to Vero Beach to enjoy the beta soaring in the state combined with beautiful beaches, great shopping and classy restaurants. Bob

Soaring Safari will be held at the TCSC during March of this year and we look forward to seeing many of our glider friends and pilots once again flying deep into the Everglades and beyond. This year the plan is to complete the challenge of the Big O, a triangle navigation around Lake Okeechobee. Flying along the east coast with a stunning view of those turquoise waters along the coast then heading through no mans land toward Immokalee and then the final glide home from Okeechobee. Heading home following that stunning sea breeze that is a real South Florida treat.
The ground is becoming dryer, just yesterday I noticed a couple of burning areas in the dryer areas more inland, things are looking much better with this cooler and dryer air. Bob
