Thermalling with Corn Stalks - CW or CCW?
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
		
Yes, No, Against 
 
How about a thermal that smells like Cotton Candy. Down in Sugarcane 
County (Palm Beach, Fl.), they burn the leaves to make it easier for 
the harvesters to do the cutting and stack the cane. They'll set a 
hugh section on fire and the leaves have sugarwater in them just like 
the cane and the smoke will drive you up a over 1400'/m and you will 
see burning leaves on fire climbing with you. 
The air is full of hawks and falcons looking for an easy meal with the 
escaping snakes and mice and all other poor creatures. Of Course, the 
ash and soot will load up your leading edges and I have caught a few 
cane leaves on the leading edge.
