6/16 Fri 25 mins flight (light wind , a bit damp and gloomy sky)
6/17 Sat 1st flight morning sledder with Paul D, Stas and Chad
6/17 Sat 2nd flight from 3 to 6PM 

Report from Paul D:
All,
Dog was fine yesterday with H2 Chad achieving his successful first and second solo flights - way to go Chad!  Also a good bunch 'o pilots flew, both PG and HG.  Many of us did early sledders and later it turned on and many worked the S ridge.  Kenny and I were thermalling with several bald eagles.  There were two huge non-flying groups camping right by the LZ and they were friendly and enjoyed our flying.  Nothing awesome, just consistent, rich lift and Dog awesome.

I recently returned from a trip to Point of the Mountain to work on landings and had two good ones as well.  Oh yeah, and Rick Lai flew forever as he always does.  Rumor has it one local bird actually stayed up longer than Rick but we had a hard time understanding its claim and think it was just grumbling.

Paul D.
