Flying Monday

[Tony de Groot]

Man what fun flying was too be had Monday. Nice little thermals snaking into the air. Spring conditions and warm weather. Getting around to EJ bowl and Thermal factory flying with Hammer and joined by Walt, a PG pilot from Seattle. Eventually cruised out to Parma while Hammer flew to the training hill. I had a nice long flight and it was still early so hoped to catch some fun light lift over the Monastary and it was going off with many paragliders enjoying the bouyant lift. Eventually I saw Bob Anderson launch and benched back to him at the Antenae farm and back out to the Monastary flying in gaggles of seagulls that were working there way down the foothills. Then benching back again up to Thermal Factory then out to the monastary duking it out for the final lift over Parma in sweet, sweet lift. I was pooped but Bob just refused to land even at three hundred over. Give up, your done and then I'd see him bank it up again! Even Little John came out for a late eveing flight at 3:30 just to get some. Three and a half hours in the air of Spring bliss.
