I was off first again but while I found 400 fpm right off tow at
1,600' I soon lost it at 3,000' and had to come back to Wilotree Park for a
second tow.
Larry and Greg were nearby finding light lift.
I took 70 fpm to 3,200' (I wanted to be extra cautious given that Greg had just
landed out). Moved over to a better cu and went up at 350 fpm to... mehr

I was off first and found weak lift low and hung on until Greg, who was towed up
second, pointed out a twirl on the pond a little to the south. That produced
almost 300 fpm... mehr
