O.k. You've seen my video of climbing in the tight thermal core on Tuesday. Well, here's the entire 85-minute flight in a 3 1/2 minute complete re-edited with a soundtrack by Iggy Pop. I hope you all enjoy viewing it as much as I did doing the edit. Click here for high quality version...........................

Leaning right .....
Looks like you prefer to thermal right 
Most og your good altitude gains are to the right and tighter than the left turns.

Lefty - Loosey, Tighty - Righty
I am indeed a righty when it comes to thermalling. I will reverse directions when I get tired.
My stats:
Circling: Time Vario Alt.Gain Alt.Loss Thermals
Total 00:46:11 (55%) 124.3fpm 8189ft -2448ft 12
Left 00:10:07 (22%) 140.7fpm 1788ft -364ft 2
Right 00:29:48 (65%) 128.7fpm 5571ft -1736ft 9
Mixed 00:06:16 (14%) 77.0fpm 830ft -348ft 1
BTW - If you pay for Naviter SeeYou in Euros, it's cheaper. My cost earlier this week was $166.55 instead of $179.00. Enough to sway me along with the sale of some spare bike parts.
