Well that sounds like it was well worth feeling pleased with yourself.

I did my 3000 metres between Christmas and New Year in my first ever
wave flight but it was very stable with obvious bars and once I got
established it was very straight forward. Well, once Chris who I was
flying with had pointed out where he was climbing that is. I was happily
sitting in wave at 4,200 on the ridge feeling more than pleased with
myself already, once he started climbing I beetled over to where he was
and followed him up.

Very well done and congratulations.

Well it was a real wave but not a classic stable one. The lower part
was so unstable with cumulus clouds that the wave collapsed several
times. There was no classic rotor but a hole in the cumulus clouds
indicating wave activity.
Almost everyone outlanded, some did it twice that day. So I was just
lucky to get the right period

9 years after my 300km, yesterday I finally managed to climb a bit
more than 3000m during my first wave flight. Not a big achievement
compared to the "real" wave flights but for me 2005 seems to be a
happy year so far
What in heaven's name is wrong with a 3000m gain? What, it wasn't
a "real" wave flight because you had the motor on?
C'mon, good for you! I hope you get a nice cake! With a
little rotor cloud on it, of course...
