Hang gliding at Saddle Mountain (Beverly, WA) 12-15-14

Saddle Mtn winds were good today (Dec 14th 2014) , but very foggy and cold with poor visibility at launch. 11 Hangs were waiting at launch for a long time and it ended up with only 3 hangs (Eric, Ron and myself) and 1PG that flew. I was fortunate to be able to climb up a few hundred ft above launch before the wind die down and got the chance to soar over to the east side of Saddle Ridge. Although the air was smooth enough to perform landing on the top, but no one made the attempt as the cloud ceiling was too low with heavy fog. I just boated from the front ridge on the edge of the clouds until the wind die down and headed to the parking log.
