Looks like a great day for local soaring...light winds, the B/S Ratio of 7+ means it 'should' be easy to stay in lift (unlike Canada Day where the B/S was 1 or 2 I think). Lift is light tho....reported at 450fpm (less your sink rate of about 200fpm) - so stick with what lift you have.

This is the 1PM forecast, the 4PM forecast is similar but not quite as good.

If you weren't there today you missed the best day I've seen at the field this year. I guess that's not saying much as I've only been out a few times but it was good enough to stay up for almost 4 hr. Lift varied from light to 1000 up (once). Topped out at 4400'. Had my share of luck with a couple of 500' low saves from the field north of the hanger. Bob, Don, Milko, Terry, Troy, and Steve had some good flights also. Hopefully they will post their stories.
