It was an amazingly good day, very unexpected for this late in the year, but the weather conditions have been unusual to say the least.  My flight was made more interesting when my Ascent vario fell off my wrist shortly after launch, so I got to practice the seat-of-the-pants technique.  Fortunately for me, like Ron said, there was lift ( and birds ) everywhere.

As I sit here with a hot breeze blowing through the window, the forecast conditions for tomorrow look very similar, with maybe a little earlier and stronger onshore push.  Professor Truax, if you're back yet, could you give us the pleasure of your prognostications ?
