Headed up with the rookies(Allison, Johnny, John Nice) at 10:30, the north was 13 at 8am, and had blocked by 10:15 at the Skyport. Nice reverse launches in light(0-3)cycles. Everybody was working lift 1/2 way up the RH spine. Nobody had varios, but it looked like they were getting to about 2500 early on, and 3200 at prime time. Perfect day to work on the canopy control, and thermaling. Allison got the longest flight of the day from the Skyport, she worked the lift for an hour and fifteen on her second flight. Trifko and BK joined us for the third and final trip of the day, and had great flights. Kristi had punched off as we were driving up and had a nice long afternoon flight. Brendan was at launch when we arrived, and punched off with the rest of the crew in the Superlight conditions(0-1). I watched Kristi & Brendan working it above the rock as I came down in the eagle chase. It looked very light and smooth, but they were making it work. SE at Parma, SW at the Skyport, SW on the glide, definetely some Convergence out there.
