I wish Gaza hadn't hurt his knee, but thanks for chasing and waiting for Joey and I to come along two hours behind you guys. <br /><br />This was one of the hardest days we have had in some time and I am happy to have made it to the Pyramid. I just posted a vid that hopefully can go along with the story. My last shot was a 360 of the island. Not a cloud in sight.Ducknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20110414.post-25047473144541376432011-09-26T22:01:15.644-10:002011-09-26T22:01:15.644-10:00Wow Swan, Thanks for story right before shut eye....Wow Swan, Thanks for story right before shut eye. Could not wait till morning and glad I didn't. you did awesome. Someone said they could hear you screaming with glee when hooking into a thermal and then saying "oh (something)" when falling out.<br /><br />I like the call sign 'Swan' and you did fly with a Duck so kinda fitting to secure a good call sign.<br /><br />Thanks again for the write and I am always bitching for more so keep it up.<br /><br />Oh, Not sure what Chutzpah is but boy you got Gorilla B@))z.Thomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07508629374134042936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20110414.post-18582286018876294812011-09-26T18:10:14.304-10:002011-09-26T18:10:14.304-10:00SD Robin: I did not have the Chutzpah or the time ...SD Robin: I did not have the Chutzpah or the time to do the XC with you today, but I sure enjoyed joining the gaggle at the start. I got some great views of you lined up along the ridge heading north. What a great day and I am so happy to have been there with you. It is back to San Diego for me but I hope that if you are in San Diego that I get a chance to return some of the hospitality I received from all of you.

I was so impressed with you and all the other guys flying in those conditions. Wow. <br /><br />I only took a couple of mediocre photos from the ridge at Makapuu, but I've linked one of them into your story just to give it some visual interest. If anyone got a nice downrange shot I'll definitely add it in, just let me know.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06249789335111913420noreply@blogger.com
