The second-to-last weekend of the season featured low temperatures, weak lift, and lots of wind.
Nevertheless, we accomplished some good lessons and got a good bit of crosswind practice.
On Saturday, Tim (AT) took a wave tow that didn't pan out, but he was able to stay up for a little while in the turbulent thermals down below cloudbase. Don, Bill, and Dakai each had took pattern tows in order to enjoy the experience of landing in a 15 knot crosswind.
Sunday started out with an excess of wind, but it eventually died down and allowed us to make six flights before sunset. Karl and Henry refreshed their familiarity with the 1-23, and Dakai and Don took two more pattern tows. On the last flight of the day, Don made his first glider solo in the Blanik (Congratulations, Don!)
Thanks, Evan for doing all the towing this weekend.
