Fantastic day soaring in METU today with Ozgun - first at the N site at the top of the hill, and then on the N closest to the apartment. It was a NNW I think, and the weather report Ozgun looked at said 17 kph and dropping in the evening. We went up there at 6pm, and later evening conditions (7.30-8pm) were possibly better. Both Ozgun and I had quite a hard time at the top - getting blown back at points. I had to do a C line landing. I also did a Mitsos launch, which I want to practice given the experience from the other day of getting dragged. Here were the soundings for 12pm today. (Looks like it would have been a good xc day for Racon - but no chance of that right now with summer school and baby duties.)
Definitely my best day's flying in METU today. On the closer site I couldn't get down over the bowl and had to do lots of wingovers to lose height! And the air was smooth. Wonderful.
