Chelan - Free Fly - Day 3

XCSkies posted a 70% cloud cover day which worked out fairly accurately.
Some cirrus obscured and subdued the usual blue skies of Chelan.
The launch was very light from any of the three directions, light dust devils were breaking off sporadically so it was evidently working.
The flats were quiet, with mostly tractor dust rather than the customary dusties marking the lift. The climbs were slow from launch, launched late and topped out at 2,600m. Easy, buoyant glide into headwind to the rim gave ample height to move past the powerlines into the flats. Joined Matty Senior in a very weak climb that was going to take a long time to get up to the top. Elected to fly back to the soccer LZ and take a swim.
Several pilot struck out and made good flights, I hear of a 75km triangle and out and returns to Sims with base of 3000m.
