Got to the Skyport just after 12 with Mickey & Misha who are from northern California. Pretty chilly, We could see out the bottom most of the time. The sky kept opening up, then getting over delveloped, but the Skyport was launchable most of the day. The Peak was reporting light S when I checked before spreading out. Most of the cycles were light from the SW. It was SE at Parma before we headed up. Mickey and I launched the tandem into a nice S cycle, and found nothing at launch. I felt the SE as I approached the power lines, so we fell off to the Holy Hills. We came in a little low but worked some weak lift. The sun line was at the base of the holy hills and there were nice little Q's & sunshine over the monastery so we ran out front. We boated around for a while, then took it into Parma and landed in the SE wind. Misha had landed at St. Mary's after flushing at the holy hills. He managed to make some turns in the weak lift and extend his flight a bit.
