Bummy' s Narrative Submitted via email on 5/13/2022

I think that if I had continued to work the spines out front towards Ojai id have been better off.

I got very low before noon.  Extremely low.  No road or trail on glide.  But things were working.  Lift was abundant.

Periods of decent lift followed by big sink on glide.  Surprised I made it as far as I did.
