Friday, the 13th, glider rides!

The date didn't cause any trouble but the sky condition did as it was overcast with a very low ceiling to start causing the first potential passenger to leave, planning to come back the next day.  My wife's nephew, Tim, arrived from Corvallis for his ride and the towpilot asked if I wanted to go now that it appeared to be clearing to the west.  Sure, we'll follow him but release and return if necessary.  The sky started to open up as we were on tow so we just went up on top to 3500' and released.  We could see Mt Hood and the coastal range as the clouds dissipated below us.



We landed, Tim got out and Peter got in for his surprise Birthday Ride!




A good time was had by all!
