Almost had 2 hrs of enjoyable flight at Moolack beach this morning between 8:40 to 10:30 am by myself. It was sunny, warm and also high tides came much earlier than anticipated. The wind direction was a bit north when l launch , so the usual launch spot was really unstable which made me walk a bit further to another spot north to punch off. Windspeed wasn't that strong, approx 12 - 18 mph plus a few gusts (pgs friendly). No beach below launch but had plenty of lifts once airborne. l cruised around between Beverly State Park to 68 St near north side of Yaquina Head landing area. More beach there for landing. Maximum altitude only 500 to 700 ft and windspeed seemed lighter on the south side and also north side near Beverly beach area so I decided not to go too far since I'm flying alone. I landed at 10:30am on Beverly beach since landing area was growing smaller even on the Beverly State Park area. l chose to land there because can break down glider on the grassy dry field and easy access to the road. Returned to launch to retrieve my van at 11:30 pm and still had plenty of lifts, but probably land on top or head south to Yaquina Head is the only options. I was tempting to fly again but nobody show up so I decided to call off for the day. I'll post video and more pics later.
