Maren and I are going to Tillamook today. Hoping to fly at Cape Lookout, or Kiwanda, or Sollie. Oceanside is showing 10 mph W right now. So even that is tempting.

 

At the very least, it should be a great day to go looking for agates at Cape Lookout. :-)

PS - we are taking the truck too, so if all else fails, we may resort to towing up on the west ridge at Kiwanda. Say... $10 for delivery to the top of the ridge? Keep in mind that we will want to be flying too! :-)

 

See you up there,

That's the second time in a row that my email to the list has been delayed by hours. I actually sent this one out at 9:30 am yesterday, but it didn't get posted until after 4:30? Going to have to check with my mail host about that one! :-(

 

We had a great time at Andersons yesterday. I'm guessing around 3 hours of airtime, more or less between one nice long solo flight, and two tandem flights. I got to take Molly's son Gabe for a flight. Pretty funny beginning as he said that he had to get to the airport, plus he was nervous, so this would have to be a straight to the beach flight. I said, let's get launched, then we will negotiate the flight time. 30 seconds into the flight, I asked if we should go land. It seems all of his nervousness went away, as his answer was an enthusiastic NO, Not Yet! :-)

The second guy was from Switzerland and was in the midst of a 8 month around the world tandem bicycle trip with his girlfriend. He saw all of us flying, and couldn't resist taking the time to get in a flight. :-)

 

After that, we went to Kiwanda for the evening. it was flyable on the dune, but only soarable on the west ridge as we had expected. I made it out once, launching from the crows nest while Maren was working with Ellis on the dune. Eventually it was Marens turn, so I gave her a quick yank to get her some ridge time too. Ellis got a chance to go for a 'high' tow too. I say 'high', but we were only able to get him to around 1000' or so. Towing on Sunset Beach is sooooo much easier! One more quick hop for Maren, and it was time to go home.

 

Awesome day!
