Ray and I expected a strong west winds yesterday but it turned out extremely weak. The winds got weaker when we ready to launched but we still managed to top out  few hundred feet above launch. It was fun cruising 1.5 hours on the north side of Oceanside in perfectly smooth air. 
Two hangs and two bags had a soaring flights today.  PGs Mike Canifax and Eric Bloch Miller launched before Ray Berger and me around 1 & 2pm when it was blowing straight up in 3-8 mph.  They landed already when Ray and  I ready to launched at 2:45pm. At that time, It was turning even lighter and more cross from the right (north side). Ray and I made an almost no winds launch and we were able to maintain few hundred feet above launch on the north side.    Ray went to Cape Meares and got up to 1,000ft and flew for over an hour. I flew for 1.5 hrs mostly on the north side and maximum altitude was 900ft (300ft above launch).
