I agree, what a great sunday we had at the Sky Port. I want to thank SA for being there and selling me a compass before I launched. I usually fly with a compass, but lost the one I usually have attached to my glider, and hadn't replaced it prior to Sunday.

Getting ready to launch, SA said that he had a few in the truck, so I went ahead and bought one. Sure enough, I climbed up at launch and headed east. I took a thermal up over the R&R, when a mass of clouds enveloped me like 70 virgins embracing a dead terrorist!

Needless to say, I was completly whited out, and all I could do is point my new compass to a southerly heading, and hope that I would follow it. Sure enough, after a while, the white nothing disappered into beautiful Santa Barbara. I looked down to see that I had already passed over the Holy Hills, and was headed straight to the ocean. The new compass worked! I hesitated a moment, but since flying to the beach was my stated goal, I decided to head there while I still had the altitude.

It was a wonderful day indeed! Jammy
