Bummy's Narrative copied from the SBSA Telegram Flying Today Chat posted at 20:34 PDT

Polo ridge worked well today . Even with heavy overcast. Constant cycles on launch with 5 kts of SE.  Eventually shifting to the SW.  Climbs up to 2200 on the main spine.  8 pilots flew everyone made the beach I believe.  Occasionally the sun poked through.  Easy transition to Franklin ridge.  A couple pilots transitioned back to Toro and landed Padaro.  Tried for Rincon landed Viola.  Low stress light climbs.  Small potatoes compared to some big flights many SB pilots and others achieved in the Owens today but very enjoyable flying.
