Villa Grove Glass Off

Villa turned on at 2:30pm Saturday September 22nd and gave us soarable cycles until dark. Ten pilots flew starting with Skip and Nickie who launched first. Both got high and it was great seeing them get good flights. Yellow Dog launched and got up. Mike Chevalier launched next and plummeted to the LZ giving the rest of us pause. Soon after it turned on again and the rest of us launched catching the tail end of booming thermals that turned into a spectacular glass off. Not to surrender Mike came back up for a relight and was rewarded with a nice smooth flight. It was going up everywhere and climbs to 14,500ft were easy. After 1:40 I was cold enough and spiralled down to land. A great day after a long spell bad luck.
