Lake Placid camp day 1 and 2 - updated

Day 1 - Saturday

It rained.  We had dinner at Lisa G's.

Day 2 - Sunday

We assembled M7 and the Puchacz...  MSC assembled the Duo and a DG-300.  Private owners assembled. M7 flew twice - Rob Williams for 1:09, then Tim Tuck for 1:21.  Dan Duclos and Tim Tuck had a short :24 in JCZ, then turned it over to Martin and Dan Duclos for 2:05.  Jacques Asselin flew for 1:43 in YW, and Roger Hildesheim flew 2:53 in AT.

The highest flight was 11,000 in early wave, which was broken up by very wide and smooth thermals.  Scattered cloud was around 5,500', increasing to 7,000' as the day went on.  Winds were south westerly.

Here are a couple of pics of Roger landing just after 5 pm... and JCZ dominating the flight line.  Tomorrow looks equally good.

Wish I had something other than an iPhone...

The sky was a bit confused today...  Wave clouds, some rotor, some good Cu - just like it was flying:
