Notes:
I had to wait for about an hour as it was catabatic at launch. I finally launched in a nil wind cycle. There were strong, 6 - 7 mps thermals out front. I had previous commitments so I had to land fairly quickly. I lost no altitude on the way to the LZ and had to core sink over the dam to get down. It was windy at the LZ but not too turbulent.
