Tuesday Morning Update:
The Wind & Waves site is still showing excellent conditions for thermal seeking on Wednesday. I expect to arrive with Terry D around 10 am.
We are still waiting to hear what time the porta potty will be delivered. I'm hoping for a good turnout....see you there!

Lyle

PS, The conditions look promising for the next three days as well....

Morning!
Looking ahead into next week, Wind & Waves is indicating light winds from the SW at 11 am on Wednesday! Reasonably warm at 16-18C. It just so happens that Wednesday is the day the porta potty (P's,P&PP!) gets delivered! Yay! I will be bringing a plethora of flying machines, some of which may actually see some air time! : )

I hope to see y'all there!

As always, I will update this post on Tuesday morning to get a better idea of conditions at the field.

Best,

Lyle

Wednesday morning update!
Wind & Waves is predicting at 11 am, Sunny, East winds at a steady 11 kph, with 6C temperatures! Sounds encouraging! However, The Weather Network is painting a different picture at 11 am, increasingly stronger, East winds gusting from 15-23 kph, sunny and 6C. I'm not a fan of strong ,gusting winds! Whenever I've run into problems, it's usually due to flying in strong winds.

From past experience we know these predictions don't always match actual conditions! Personally, I'm going to make my final decision whether to go or not, after I get up tomorrow and check the weather.

Cheers!
Lyle

Morning!
Looking ahead into next week, Thursday is looking promising! I'm going to keep an eye on Wind and Waves app and will update the post in a couple of days!

Meanwhile, keep yer batteries charged just in case!

Cheers!
Lyle

UPDATE Weds 5:30 pm. The wind now looks just below marginal for any good lift on both the Weather Network and Windfinder. So unless it changes to make it worthwhile by early Thurs I'm not going.

Thurs pm is looking possible. 18-27 kph S 13C. Will update Weds.

Looks like a nice south wind today. I'm going about 12:00.
Forcast winds were 20-25 kph, actual winds were 35 gusting to 45. It was warm and summy though.

Sunday actually looks slightly better than Saturday, though both days flyable.
At noon both days:
Sat 10C 30% PoP 10-15 kph west cloudy with sunny breaks
Sun 9C 10% PoP 8-12 kph north mostly sunny. Given more sun might be better conditions.

I can't go both days but will go with the majority for company, - unless I get pre-empted by family commitments, though free at present.
