I had 2 flights today and hit lots of sink. A lot more sink than thermals. My first flight I climbed for a short while but the thermal was very bumpy. My second flight I made it to ~5000 feet and decided to try going XC, but as I flew downwind the air only got worse. I was back on the ground 6 miles away from the airport. From 5000 feet in dead air I should be able to glide closer to 10 or 11 miles. The good news though is that the camera worked beautifully. I think I need to find a different location to mount it though because the down tube is in front of my face in almost every shot. Here are a few of the better pictures.
