Very helpful Doug Graham and Wes Hetrick
Weather:
High thin layer of clouds made a background for lower, puffy clouds until
the puffies disappeared about noon. Brisk NW wind kept us cool and
disrupted the formation of thermals.

Everyone flying very high and fast. Lots of solo Broadwings.

50 Monarchs
