Whole mess of fun on a marginal day.
Almost didn't go.
One of the nicest tows I've ever had.
THANKS STEVE
What a wonderful flight. Super light lift and some distance between
then but no real issue to stay near the field. You just had to lock on
like a bulldog and hang in the area till something better showed up.
Clouds were few.
Ken got a good hour I think.
Seagulls, even really low ones, were very helpful.
Landing was slow and I thought I had just enough to flare but it was
way too little; a classic wind gradient situation.
At 20 feet there was 10mph.
At the ground there was none.
I flared from the basebar really hard and did a smooth feet/knees and
basebar slider with no damage and not even hard landing or a whack.
But it coulda bin worse which is why I write about it; I ought to have
known better. Ought to have flown faster.
Ignominious ending to a surprisingly good flight.
