Awesome flights at Rampart over the Aug 26th, 2017 weekend. 

Once again thanks to Chad for driving us today. Four hangs (Luis, Shah, Rob A and myself) and one paraglider flew on Sat and 5 hangs (Alfredo, Ron B , Rob A , Shah and myself) and approximately half dozen of paragliders came out to play on Sunday. 

Sat report: 
Once again thanks to Chad for driving us today. The winds at launch plus LZ was kind of light and weak thermals. I launched first at 3:00pm and it was barely soarable so none of us were able to make it to the cliff wall. Everyone landed north direction on the Carrier Deck LZ all surrounded by the deep water. As you can see from the pics below the Carrier Deck was completely dry. 

Sun: 
We arrived launch around 2 PM , winds was very light and a bit cross from SW (left side). There were paragliders at various altitudes and we heard from the radio they got up to 7K and few went to Alta. We launched around 3PM. Alfredo ,Ron and l went to the wall and got up to almost 6500ft ( 2K above hang launch). It was very fun air and congrats to Rob A getting his first soaring flights at Rampart. Rob reached 6K (about 1400ft over launch) and perfect landing on the carrier deck.
