Oceanside was awesome today. There were six or eight paras and one hang (myself) came out to play. I flew from 12:25 to 3:15pm (almost 3hrs) in sunny blue sky with nice smooth lift conditions. It was probably 5-10 mph at launch from WSW during my whole flight and the winds turned more to straight west later therefore it was soarable from north side of the launch to Cape Meares. Jim Baldo managed to go to Cape Meares and return. I only cruise around the north side, and didn't join Jim to Cape Meares. The top of the lift was between 800-900ft MSL (400 to 500 ft above launch) and trip to Happy Camp and return was so easy as well due to the west wind.
