SA and Martin could still be in the air as of this post... last seen about a mile from SkyPort heading East.

I haven't flown Sky Port much and obviously I must have flown it at its worst. This 'para-granny' had a fabulous time and could have stayed up a long while! The cycles at launch were warm and strong (6-8knts S-SE?). The lift was smooth and abundant. By the time I got to the Ant. farm I caught myself thinking jadedly: "Oh.. another thermal.." and was at 3300ft as I glided over Casey R. who was out in front and working his way back up. I didn't hang around and went for a cruise to the LZ by way of many little thermals along the way.

A BIG THANK YOU TO ROB S. for the ride up to launch, refresher pre-flight talk, wing assistance and kind words. Many thanks to Martin and Casey for being superb wind-technicians and marking the sky with your elegant form!
