Had a highly irritating re-light. Flew with James Stinnett and
Grant Emary all the way. We mostly hedged slightly upwind of the optimized line
in the S/SE crosswind. Weak until we got under small cu's east of LaMesa. Had a
semi-low save east of LaMesa, dropped them there as we crossed the windmills. Lucky.
Dave was happy to finally get a shot of him before launching when
he is happy. With light rain and lots of overcast in the morning but with a forecast of
sunshine in the afternoon the task is held until a 3 PM launch and 4:20 PM
start. Light to no lift in the start circle. I never found lift after pinning
off and heading for a guy circling under the only cu nearby. Task was short to a 40 km circle northeast of LaMesa and then back to LaMesa
airport. 10 mph at least south east wind. Pilots left with out much altitude
having to hang around for an hour in strong winds before they could cross the 5
km start cylinder. There were at least 10 relites. Results are not up as I write this.
