The Wind Finally Blows SW

Gee, its been 3 months since I was last here, and this could well be the last flight of the season.

As usual it looked promising. (I try not to go when it doesn't).

So I got to the car park around 1230 and found Adrien waiting for me, his first time to Moirs and he wasn't sure where the launch was.

Out at launch the wind was on the money, but there was still a fair bit of cloud; although it was breaking up upwind. So after a site brief we proceeded to kit up. Scott then showed up, another 1st Moirser and another who didn't know how to get to launch (?), and after another quick briefing we continued to get ready.

Adrien launched first and I followed at about 1340. The air was smooth, interspersed with broken thermals, some quite boisterous, but I was unable to cling onto anything substantial for any worthwhile length of time.

Scott launched and we boated around, rising and falling, never getting too high. After about 40 minutes of this I decided to head out and land in the valley, so I would have time to walk back to the car and get home at a reasonable hour.

The other two stayed in the air for a couple more hours, Adrien top landing, and Scott eventually landing down in the valley for his pick up.

No chance to fly this month. When it wasn't too strong it was too light. Of course during the working week was best with the weekends usually no go.

Over The Dome

Today was my best distance flight from Moirs. An Open Distance of 21.4 km, landing at the intersection of Waiteitei and Whangaripo Valley Roads. I should have got further but I think in my eagerness to clear the forestry that is the Dome Valley, I lost my cloud-centric view, instead focusing on the ground and therefore ending up there. The RASP forecast was good, in fact really good. Strong thermal updraft with little wind shear, thermaling height around 5000ft, a good sea-breeze convergence line stretching for a distance to the North, with light winds. When conditions are right for Moirs you always get a good turnout of pilots and today was no acception. Apart from the usual suspects, Ken Jackson and Joe Ward were there, I hadn't seen them for a few years. The RASP indicated a best launch window between 1 and 2 pm, and so it came to pass. Don, Jeff, Graham, Cam and Wayne were first off around 1320hrs, followed by Nick and Robbo at 1330hrs and then Lisa and myself at 13...

Better at Walking Than Flying?

The sacrifices I make for the greater good. The forecast was pretty good regarding the usual parameters. But a couple of  indicators weren't that great. First, the wind was expected to be more westerly than wanted and, a new one of interest, was that on the Skew-T Plot (the vertical X-section of the atmosphere) the gap between the Blue (dew-point Temperature) and Red (air Temperature) lines was unusually large and grew bigger as the day progressed. In simple terms, "no clouds". And this turned out to be the case. Andy was the only one at the turnoff, so he lept into the car and we proceeded to the end of the road. Out at launch conditions looked perfect, nice back-ground breeze with good, but not strong cycles coming up the hill from the SW. The wind already had a Westerly tilt. But in hind-sight the main indicator was already there. Very few clouds, and what there was were small and not well formed. As we prepared to launch a couple of nice clouds did form out ...
