pulled up to lower bates in a downpour but was soon able to break out the hybrid. it was west at 20-25 and i wanted to see if i could literally launch from the sand... not quite; i had to kite @ 1/3 way up the paved path to get enough launch pressure. speedflew all over until it got a little lighter and i saw sd setting up on the top launch. we thought we had a window a couple of times between rainy squalls to pg downrange- but (longstoryshort) it wasnt quite right. we had a couple flights- i could penetrate on bar but couldnt get enough alt to jump. i put the pg back in the jar and released the firefly for another hourlong speed session.
