I launched about 3:30. Max alt for me was 4400, somebody probably got 5,000. LZ was 103 by car thermometers, launch 97.

High clouds with some mackeral effect. Alto-stratus my guess. Did not look high enough to be cirrus.

Moderate thermals with some 800 fpm. But air squirrely. Phill and Chris S. headed off and Chris landed out. By 5 p.m. thermals still working well enough for low save over the volcano from 2700 to 4,000. Mallory still hovering over launch at 5:30 p.m.

LZ for landings was light variable S plus 45 either way.

Very hot but pretty good Friday flying.
