Chelan XC Classic 2010: Day 4

When you bet big…

Following Day 2’s successful early launch, I was itching to get off the hill promptly again. It was another NE day, and when Ants Launch started blowing up, CRV and I decided to go. A few dusty’s had come through the butte, and plenty were out on the flats.

I launched first and listened to my sink alarm all the way to the soccer field. I tried to work one low save but had gained only about 100 feet after several minutes and was drifting down wind away from the LZ quickly.

It turned out to be a very relaxing day, sitting in the shade, drinking beer, and watching gliders come in.
