Birthday ride for Aswa from Sangita

We had to wait for the overcast to clear before we could be towed to 6000' towards the Monterey Bay whose southern half was obscured by low clouds.  There was some slight turbulence at the boundary layer ~2800'.  The visibility once above the remaining cloud was great with Mt. Tamalpais, Mt. Diablo and the Sierras in view.  Sangita had asked me to surprise Aswa with some "roller-coaster" type maneuvers which we did with her giggling accompaniment!  They both said the ride was better than they had expected.  Maybe we have another glider student pilot!
Here they are ready to taxi to the runway:


In the air the smiles are even bigger:

After landing I had Sangita move to the the front for taxi to parking.  They now know the "best way to get high"!
