After five days of solid overcast punctuated by wave windows, it was nice to have the opposite today: mostly sunny with a few clouds on the mountaintops. The wave was working today, but the wind was a bit too far northerly to produce the classic conditions for which Mount Washington is famous. In fact, Mount Washington itself seemed to break up the waves produced by Mount Madison and Mount Adams.
The two clubs had about ten flights today in weak conditions. Todd Smith took the prize again today with a flight to 15200 feet (after a 1000 foot tow!) The rest of us were happy to reach 10000 . Pete D took a long flight late in the day in 3J, reaching 11000 feet and landing just before sunset.
The GBSC towplane leaves tomorrow, but we will provide tows on all good-weather days from now through Sunday. The forecast for tomorrow is for clear skies, but not much wind.
