This weekend was virtually a carbon copy of last week. Slightly more wind at the end of the day and it started picking up at noon. Again, it was a good chance for the guys to test their heavy birds for the NW trip. Fortunately, no major carnage and all planes left intact.

Yeah,
finally a little more wind. Nothing fantastic, but better than last week. And actually the last hour from 1-2PM, was ripping nicely. Because of our upcoming Oregon Slope Safari (only two weeks!), we needed an opportunity to test out some of our heavy slope birds. As usual, a good time was had by all. No crashes or mid airs (outside of some foamy impacts) and all the planes left intact.

The wind did build a little and the last half hour gave us a few breaths of slope lift. Only calamity, was Amadeo's Sunbird.

I was out of town for the past two weekends. Fortunately, Larry L took some pics and had a short report from the weekend before last. Thanks Larry!

"Mike,
Sat was a clear hot light wind day. Good turn out and good participation.
The sea breeze front came through at about 1 PM which allowed for some plank flying, Good enough to Gulp and Moth, in the SE bowl.
Tried a new burger joint, Tucker Duke's on Powerline Road just South of Hillsborough Blvd. Good food, but limited menu and sparce, crowded seating. As usual a good time.
Best regards,
LL"
