Marina

Saturday turned out to be a perfect day at Marina. Winds in at 15+ and nice and Westerly. Great day, great flights and great beers with locals at the pub afterward.
It was easily soarable with abundant lift all the way to the South end (6 or so miles) and back.
Sweeeet!

P.S. Sunday: John and I did a double-header today. Launched at Waddell into an offshore shear (birds were circling up in a huge column right on the line). It was fat and scary rowdy, got up and went down fast. We decided to try our luck at Marina in the afternoon and got off at around 4:00 there. Winds in W @ 13 or so. Flew to the end and got over 1,000' up in shear (no pics unfortunately) till it ended and flew back. The winds died for an easy breakdown at sunset , followed by the obligatory beer at the local pub:)
