THUR: Kari brought along Barry and we headed up to Gunthers, as Barry wanted to take down the defective windtalker. Another bad road, a bit longer than the road to Pajute, but not as bad on the tires...

Unfortunately my flight today consisted of 40 minutes of 'scratching', as I never got above launch: small thermals not providing enough lift for me. Barry made it up to 3000m and flew towards Bishop, but he reported the same 'problem'...
We then again drove to Chalk Bluffs: today a little more wind and Kari had quite a nice flight.

I have not been so lucky, but at least my flight lasted about 3 times as long as the flight yesterday ;-)
