The winds aloft called for an 18 degree temp difference between the valley floor at Ojai and 6000'. It was a so so day which is what we thought, but none the less we had 11-12 wings in the air all at once. Very pretty sight.
My max altitude was 5600 and that was for a brief moment. Not much to do with the west wind and the small lift so I practiced trying to stay in the lift and using a "feel" approach to mapping out the core of the thermals.
1.75 hrs later we were having beers, pizza and strawberry short cake at Bacalli's.
