Soaring with the birds says it all! <br /><br />I got lucky on Thursday as a cloud street led Reaper and I across the bay. I really didn't think I was going to make it, but I kept getting those zero's that made all the difference. I started getting good beeps at 800' and looked up above me an saw Pete skied out on his new bay crossing machine. It was super lifty with rdge lift and great cloud suck. I followed Pete to Kualoa Ranch ridge. The easterly side was working great and we soon found ourselves skied out in super smooth lift.<br /><br />I timed my trip back to Kahana with a huge band of clouds and only lost 100' from Kualoa to Crouching Lion. I knew it would be a great day for a trip to Pounders, so off I went. It was just another one of those perfect days where the conditions were just right.<br /><br />Thanks Alex for keeping an eye on me and the perfect timed ride back. It's really cool to see the chase car pull into the parking lot at the same time I was landing. The perfect ending to an awesome flight! I am so addicted to this amazing sport :-)MauiDougnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20110414.post-74390884071241082702010-08-07T09:02:06.091-10:002010-08-07T09:02:06.091-10:00Alex,
