Met Ojai Chris and Christian at Parma just before noon. Marty DeVietti is in town for the month, and we had a tandem passenger Ali ready to get air with him. The cycles were nice at the Skyport when we got to launch (SSW 4-9), and I punched off first and worked it up 350 over and headed to the double R and topped out at 3600. Took the tailwind to the factory, and did the twist there for a while topping out at 3600. Christian got up at launch and headed over to the factory as well. He said he was getting to 3900. Marty launched the mother ship and climbed with his passenger nicely, and then Chris got off and headed for the antenna farm. Marty had a nice low save on the roundhouse spine, and we boated around for a while then headed to Parma. The thermals were of the high-pressure variety, and wanted to push you out most of the time. Christian hit some 1000 up over the monastery at the glide out. All in all a fun day up there, we may give it a look again tomorrow.
