May is normally the peak month of the soaring season.
A sign of how disappointing May has been this year is this quote from Tim: "We used to complain about our bad luck on weekends. This year we lost the whole month."
The Slackers were so desperate that they went with a mediocre forecast and showed up on the last day of the month, just in case a day could be squeezed out. It couldn't.
So far, June hasn't been much better. Saturday was grey all day, a perfect day for flight test prep. Evan and Peter took advantage of that opportunity with a solid day of ground and flight instruction.
David, both Andys, Skip and Rick sat around most of the day, and ALaw took a short flight in the 1-26.
By far the highlight of the day was the cookout at the end. This time our heroine, Laurie, provided... well... everything. It was a great party.
Sunday was a drizzly dud.

I got in a flight in the 1-26 before Andy L. went up. I helped to show that there was no lift when I went up. Random flights found moments of limited lift here and there, but those few flights were only extended to about 30 minutes. Most flights were sled rides.
