After cleaning the brewhouse on sunday I took a look at the local winds, rallied Colin and made for Yaquina.

The low overcast clouds had slowed throughout the day and were looking quite tame.  Winds on launch were smooth, cycling little, and straight in at ~230, pushing around 10mph.  

A little after 7, I launched into what I thought would be an extended sledder and was more than happy to find myself well above launch after a few turns watching Colin launch.

The lift band wasn't the tallest, not exceeding 300' over launch, but it was deep enough for Colin and I to find our own air space to tool about with 360s, bars, and whatnotery.  We left the hill with the lift band still working to take in what was left of the sunset from the ground.  Good fun and not bad for a work day. :)

I hope all are well. Thoughts go out to JB.


Cheers,
Ryan
