A bigger day still has been forecasted but with wind coming from the E-NE, an unusual direction for Chelan - 4000m+ base. We go up to launch suspicious of what we might find.Winds are light but definitely from the NE. Dust devils are breaking off all around the launch every 5 minutes. 
Conrad launched, crossed the rover then landed. A HG tandem launched after a 30 minute wait, he climbed out way over near the river.Dust devils still going off and we decide to go with the locals and drive back down.
Internet and swimming with some lunch at the local diner
At 4:00pm the sky shaped up and looked awesome, base looked like 4500m. I reckon we could have launched at 5:00pm and still skied out however we chilled and readied a BBQ. Chris tries some vegemite on corn cobb and brian tries a burger for the first time.
