Lately the winds have either been too strong or too week.   Today the winds were howling most of the day.  At 3:00pm they started easing up so I headed out.  Although they did indeed slow down the only pilot at the dumps was Nova.  I unpacked & joined him.  JJ showed up & met us in the air.  We flew for 30 minutes before the winds ceased. I flew the lower ridges back & forth at one point missing an RC.  Later we tried launching from Walkers but there just were not enough winds.  I managed to make it back to land & missed landing on the beach.
