Rampart was good today, although it was cold and overcast with cloudy skies. The cloud celling was approx 2,500ft above launch (7,000 MSL). The launch condition was a bit gusty from North (right side) but once in the air, it felt really smooth and lifty. The condition reminded me of flying at the coast during the winter. l launched at 3:40 and just shot up quickly to 1,000ft above launch. Abundant of smooth lifts from in front of launch all the way through the 2nd Rampart wall. I reached 2300ft above launch (6,800 MSL) over the 2nd wall. After about an hour, l started getting really cold (40 degree F) then finally hit sink when headed south to the lake, so I started back to the LZ for landing and felt strong north headwind. There was definitely plenty of rotors during the landing approach. I landed around 5:15pm on the carrier deck in the NNW direction. Thanks Tim for driving.

Another great Rampart day. 5 hangs (Robin, Travis, Tim C, Myself and Alfredo) all launched aound 3:15pm and every one were up for more than two hrs. I got 2 hrs and 45 mins. The condition was even better than yesterday. Top of the thermals reached between 2,700-3,000ft above launch. Kind of like yesterday except much more warmer and sunnier.
