Wind was definitely south in the convective layer. I got a late start (launched roughly two hours after Tony) and made it all of about 150 miles to a nice field, 10 miles north of Hill City, Kansas. Landed in a field that was having its wheat harvested. Flight is on OLC, but no points because my logger had its seal broken recently. And I didn't realize it until I downloaded the log file. Oh, well. Was a fun day. My crew for the day agreed to go because he didn't think I would go more than 30 or 40 miles! Maybe it will inspire him to take the step up to something like a Libelle, which would be about perfect for him.

You should have stopped in, Sean. I got home at about 12:30 AM Saturday morning. That prompted my late launch on Saturday. Got home from my Kowbell adventure about 1 AM Sunday morning. All this after two weeks at Hobbs for the Open Nationals. I think I need to go back to work to get some rest!
