Nice wave flight at VSF but I had taken my oxygen tank out to get it refilled. I reinstalled it and did a leak check but forgot to turn it back on before take-off. I got to 14,000' then dropped back to 12,000' for the rest of the flight. At 14,000' I was still climbing at 2-3 kts.
Up high the wind was very strong and out of the south. Flew north about 23 nm to Sharon When I turn around the computer said I had a 74 kt head wind back to VSF. I took a long time to get back.
Okemo Mountain's "largest vertical drop in VT" doesn't look so large from here.
Airspeed 70 kts, Groundspeed zero, 5.1 kts on the averager.
I followed the hole left of the 'L' in Lebanon to Sharon. Could not access the primary because of the clouds.
