Yea. It's hot in Florida in August. However, it's a lot cooler up
above the clouds!


Here's a video of one of the coolest flights I've ever taken. Mark Frutiger said
"get your stuff on and let's go" so I did. It was only 10 am and I knew it
wasn't because the lift was good.

Cloud base was at about 1200 feet so it didn't take long to climb above the
clouds. I chopped out the last part of the flight where I boated around above
the LZ for about 15 minutes at about 800 feet. Even at 10am, I was able to stay
up for a while.


An hour later or so Spinner and I flew for an hour and a half at cloud base
(3100 at 1pm) until we just felt like landing.


I've been here at Quest since Wednesday and I've flown 3 of the 4 days (waited
too long on Thursday and missed the window of opportunity). There is about a 2
hour window of great conditions then it over develops and rains for a while.


Just awesome flying here. Thank God the business office is air conditioned.
