Hull Mountain

Convergence! After a good day on Saturday soaring lift over the top of Hull we hooked a nice convergence Sunday that took us up over Lake Pillsbury and NE into the canyon. Below Charlie is around 8,700' (click to enlarge all), I managed 8,400 this day hitting lift in the 1400'/minute range.


Below you can see the tell tale wind lines where the convergence setup. Strong SW winds met the winds coming down the valley next to Hull right over the LZ. Getting down took some time and reliable sink was hard to find.
This was Trey's first flight at Hull. He drove all the way up last weekend solo only to find no one around. I think there was some Karma in his favor. We drove up together and both managed to come away with 5 or 6 hours of airtime and excellent flights. He took right to the site and tore it up. You better eat your Wheaties if you want to keep up with this "newb". (Trey launching below).

Looking back at Hull. What a great place to fly. A close second to the great flying at Hull is the good company I find up there every time I go. It was great to hang out with the Sonoma crowd as always. I'm looking forward to seeing them again next week at King during the Nationals! Thanks.
