We played the waiting game today on the North Side at the Point. Shad, John and I arrived early, slowly set up as it nuked. It continued to blow hard, with strong spikes until around 6:45pm. At around 7:00pm we considered launching. The weird thing about the wind today is the direction. I've only been at the Point a few times when the wind was west. Today was one of those days. With the direction, velocity and gusts, we were hesitant to fly even as the wind calmed a bit. However, all three of us lumbered into the air around 7:30pm. The air was quite nice, even though it was strong. All three of us had scary landings. John and Shad landed on top and I land in the bailout LZ below........yikes!
