Weekend Numbers, Sept 25-26-27

What sort of boats are you sailing? It seems that I am drawn to anything involving wind: motorcycles, jumping, sailing, etc. I was a part owner on a hobie 16, and a long while ago my dad owned a tornado with all the race fittings, cats are a blast!

I recently did a tandem hang glide, it was very fun, and sort of calming. My experience with canopies has made me want to go with a rigid, rather than ram air wing for soaring. You are crazy!

Crazy is good...... sometimes.

Where did you do your Tandem?

It is an ocean/cliff soaring location just south of san francisco, called fort funston. The main launch is all hang gliders, but further down you can launch paragliders. Soaring dudes are nuts, they pack their reserves themselves... and get this.... HAND deploy!!!

Those solos sure feel uneventful, don't they?

Nope

Perfect way to relax after a stressful week.

Two jumps at Byron. Looks like I owe beer for my first jumps at Byron so now I'll have to return to deliver on this commitment.

Nice! I have only done 1 jump there, it was fun though. Where do you normally jump? Is your avatar Davis' pac750?

Yes it was a lot of fun...still getting to know the people and the DZ at Byron but it will be great to jump again there in a week or two.

Yes the avatar is the PAC 750 from Skydance where I normally jump...Byron has a PAC 750 as well so that aspect of it is very similar.
