Tony and I were on off re going to Skyport until things cleared up at about 12:30. Lots of wind at alt was evident from the beautiful lenticular clouds.

By the time I got my glider out cloudcover had darkened all trigger points out front. There was still some sun on launch and two HGs got up slightly at launch.

I waited for about fifteen minutes, but the sun was not going to penetrate the clouds for some time so I launched into a decent cycle. There was no lift over the usual points on the way down the RH spine, a slight bubble over the saddle that made me think I would make Parma, but sharp sink just beyond forced me to go to SMs. Ron gave me a boost back to my car.

Tony flew the Atos, launching just after I landed. The sky had cleared some ad he got up at launch, looked like he went to the TF where he got up as well and headed E.
