Arrived at the Skyport at 11am. The air was cooler than expected up at launch, with light SW cycles(0-3). Allison, JD, BK, and Navid had a smooth glide out and all worked lift over the monastery, and Parma landing in a light SW.

Picked up a couple tandem passengers at Parma and had stronger SW(2-6) at the Skyport for the 2nd flight. Navid managed to twist up 250 over in the house thermal before heading out. JD got to 2400 over the monastery. BK, and Navid really began to dial in on their thermaling making nice altitude gains fo5 ra summer day in ythe local mountains. My tandem passenger Tracy got a little queezy, but did not spew on me. We all landed in a light SE at Parma.

Had a light SE(0-3) at the Skyport on the third trip. We all fell off with the SE to the Holy Hills. Brian and I punched off last in the mothership at 4:15. We all worked lift at the Holy Hills. Allison got the highest on the late afternoon flight, looked like 700 over. We all landed in light southerly flow at St. Mary's. This crew are all on top of their canopy control, looking real good on the pressure management. When I get back from Chelan in late July, we will be ready for some flights at Topa.
