The temp differential between the valley floor and 6000' was scheduled to be 30 degrees +. It was Zvi, Sharon, Chris, Benson, Jill and I. We arrived at launch a little before noon and the gusts through launch were from 0- 15 mps. Zvi was first off and he went up to 8400+ with Benson not too far behind. I let Sharon go next and I was off in the next lull. I caught up with Sharon over Chief's peak, where I was at 7200' and Sharon was a little higher, maybe 7400'. I had Sharon follow me over to Nordoff ridge. From there Sharon got up to 4900' and I was around 4800' and we took the glide to NHS.

Easy day like Monday. Nice fat thermals with out the sink holes I experienced on Monday. Sharon's first time to NHS. Eddie who stayed in bed today as we had Christian act as our driver, guided Sharon to the ground. Where would we be without you Eddie?
