Saturday, I finally was able to complete my 50 km FAI triangle that I've tried to complete on and off for a couple of weeks here at Cloud 9. The cu's formed around noon and the winds were light. The Hughes internet satellite was malfunctioning so we didn't have a forecast for the day, but the winds seemed to be about 5 mph out of the north

The flight.

On Sunday, Mark Bolt flew 102 miles to the south (it was cold up there) while I went down early at 34 miles. Lots of cu's and a reasonable north wind. The cloud base was supposed to get high.

I got to get a couple of Spaaten Meisters here at the Drachenflieger Club on Friday and Saturday with my first landing within one step of the 4" center. On the second landing I was going to over shoot and flared hard for a soft perfect landing inside the spot. This Wills Wing Sport 2 - 155 is very nice to land. Extremely nice. I haven't tried that kind of flair in a very long time.
