2 flights 2 hrs Oceanside 2/28/17

It was raining and snowing heavily on Hwy 6 on the way to Tillamook this morning but plenty of sunshine at Oceanside. I arrived parking lot at 9:15. There was plenty of beach for landing and the winds were on and off blowing 10mph between straight west to NW. At launch, it was almost zero winds with some NE (blowing down) cycles. See photos yourself.

Another great day at Oceanside! This morning we cruised around between Oceanside , Cape Lookout and Terrie Del Mark before deciding to settle at Oceanside. We arrived at the launch around 12:30 and first to punch off was Eric Miller, followed with: Mike C, myself, John B, Gregg and Dave B. All of us had nice flights between 30 mins to an hour. It was easy to stay up with straight west 5- 8 mph winds at launch.  We all got a couple hundred feet above launch without much effort and landed around 2pm because beach was disappearing due to high tides. 

We went for round two in the afternoon and I launched at 3pm when the tide was going down.  The winds were stronger and I was able to reach 900 ft AGL. Steve S  launched at 4pm and I think he landed around 5:00pm.  So two hangs and six bags flew on this beautiful sunny warm day; special thanks to Laren for the retrieve and rides up.
