A day with a great forecast was well....…… we tried to make the best of it. Steve launched first & was 75’ over launch quickly. By the time I was finished getting ready he was on the ground in the middle of the field. Said he found a lot of sink.
Waited for it to get better as graupel was falling. Accepted that it would probably be only a sled ride. Struggled for awhile & was able to stay up long enough for it to better. The better it got however, the more graupel fell. Was ready for the sky to fall on me as it looked quite ominous. It stayed very civilized. Had a few 700-1000 fpm climbs. Temp at 6000' was forecast 17°, it was very bit of that + the wind chill. Managed not to pile in with a no wind landing. Glad I was able to still move :- )
