Saturday pre practice 18 Meters USA #711 reporting
Yes, four of us flew yesterday. Several of our flights are posted on
the OLC. 7V, 8H, SZ and myself. Ran north to crossroads, then "they ran to Andrews, Jal, something like #77 and home." I went after crossroads to Brownfield and that was a sink hole. But out in the blue hit an 8 kt climb to almost 16 thousand msl. Task area is simply DRY, not much green anywhere. More folks are pulling in today, YO, KM, 98, 2BL, GJ. I am running short on time. Looks like another blue day with 14 thousand and maybe 20 kts in the BL. No pre practice task is called. #711 reporting. |

Always good to get to read about the wonderful soaring that's going on elsewhere. I can only dream about 8 kts to 16000 feet msl. I enjoy perusing the OLC and one day hope to actually understand that which I am perusing. Soar on 711 and hope to see you next year at the Seniors.

Cloud base ended up well over 18 thousand. 10 kt climbs were the normal. Virga did appear and yes, we had some wind in the BL around 15 to 25 kts. I think we had 6 tows and YOYO electric was flying also, so 7 altogether. We all landed on 21, which is not the ramp as we usually do, due to the high winds. But now its become very quiet with hardly any breeze, so maybe tomorow it will be better than today. More trailers on the ramp now, P7 pulled in, along with A8, KS, DJ, 6W. Tomorrows first practice day. The shoot out beings Tuesday, June 21st, 2011. Check the SSA website for updates, pictures, scores, candy bars, pop corn and icecream. #711 reporting |
