two different days with different pilots

I am lucky to get to fly with Sven who taught glider flying to military pilots in WWII.  Here you can see his hatless head as he follows the towplane on a clear smooth day.  We couldn't find any lift and just had a nice 45 minute glide in a beautiful glider, the DG-505.

The next day I'm with Matt in search of the wave on a day when the front in passing

       Off tow and slowly climbing in a hole trying to get on top.  It was good for a while but then started to close so we had to descend and play around under the cloud deck, landing 40 minutes later.  It was a good try and we had fun.
