Rare Michigan Soaring

Sept 4-7 proved to be a rare soaring conditions in Michigan for sept. I
flew 4 straight long crosscountry flights in Michigan (IONIA), longest
flight was 516km, shortest 327km, total of 1571km for an average of 392+.
This year we rarely flew 2 days in succession. Wonders really can happen.

It sure was a good week in the upper midwest. We had guys fly all
three days of labor day weekend at our club in Hartford, WI. If it
wasn't for my bladder I would have got all three of my Silver legs
done on monday, but two out of three ain't bad.

Chicago had a very rare 9 out of 10 days with cross country soaring.
Not all spectacular, but very unusual.

Now, most important. You must learn to pee in a glider! The record of
accidents from dehydrated pilots who did not want to drink because
they hadn't worked this out is abysmal. If I were king, the bronze
badge and prerequisite to any silver flying would be, enter that
glider and come out with a full pee bag.
