At one point Jorge appeared to be riding the lift coming up from Kamiloiki Valley, on the backside of hang launch. Any attempts to head into Waimanalo were unsucessful due to sink. I wonder now if there were blue thermals popping out in the flats.<br /><br /><br />I headed over the back towards Sandy's and picked up a thermal over Bob's old house. I climbed over the gap into Hawaii Kai. I thought the Costco thermal would be happening, I picked up a little thermal at the foot of Mariner's ridge, but kept gliding for Costco. It was windy from the east over there, and I was going offshore in a broken up thermal. I threw it in and landed across from the boat ramp. It was a little strange landing with lots of fast moving traffic just below and ratty thermal bumps tossing me a bit. But it all worked out fine, and Frank was making his afternoon commute to Makapuu, so he picked me up. firedave2https://www.blogger.com/profile/07212702155886596067noreply@blogger.com
