27/6/08 - The first flying day at Chelan

A light wind day to get the flying started.
Conrad and I cross to the rim and head towards Witrow, Conrad lands there but I managed to keep going to fly to Douglas then back to the soccer field. Was good to do the Douglas / Soccer field leg after the last task of the Chelan nationals comp 2 years ago.

Joy came out and picked up Conrad and we met up a the LZzzzzz

Difficult to pick course to fly
Need to set up some variable triangles in advance
Nealy decked on the rim on the last leg to LZ
Left broken lift and was lucky to get a good climb in a gully

Lessons
When low stay with lift unless there is a clear sign to move forward.
