1st Skunked at Peterson Butte 1/24/17

4 hangs (Chris P, Ray B, Peter and myself) arrived lower launch around noon.  No one get to fly due to the strong winds.  I got my first skunked of 2017 today. Winds were blowing 30-45mph.  






Newberg report from Neil.
Getting skunked might have been the better decision, given how sketchy my launch was.  Quite turbulent!  Bit of a workout once up too.  Some nice lift here and there, but any more than three or four circles and I'd have been going OTB with no other option.  Thanks for the help on launch, John!  Thanks for the ride back up, Greg and Rob!
