Winter time has offered up few options lately so a group of us met up at Mount Tam. It was my first time out to this site (Just north of San Francisco) and when we arrived it looked dismal. By the time we were set up a window opened and I took off just as the clouds began to clear.
Launch is a couple thousand feet over the landing zone at Stinson Beach. It was a sled ride down, but an incredible view (
looking North and South toward SF respectively). This marked the 21st site that I have flown over the last year (
my goal was 20 for the year!) Life is good.
Below Brian sets up his final approach.
Brian testing the hypothesis that people are like cattle
(totally unreactive to hang-gliders flying 30 mph directly toward them). He made a nice landing just short of them.
Below Dave on his base leg approach over the water.
Dave pulling a G or 2 down low.
Chris' folks were in town from Florida and he showed them a flawless approach, while I stood gawking with them
(camera in hand, sorry Chris..)
