I was on my way to Binghamton to pick up Mandi and Alyss and saw the posts for IC. Seeing I had to drive right by figured I would load the glider and check it out. When I arrived no one was flying, Doug was down near the theater and Skyqueeen announced it was crossed and light up top but Bill and Mark were getting ready to try it. I hung out in the LZ till they both launched and started climbing so I headed up. When I got up top they were slowly sinking and it had picked up in velocity and was crossing more, eventually they all sank out. figured it was going to turned on eventually so I set up and waited with Linda, Chuck, Oded, Doug, Matt, Karl and eventually the first group came back up. It got lighter and less crossed and Doug launched and slowly benched up, I had waited long enough. Unfortunatly I went a little early and ended up with a sledder in smooth air. A few blips on the vario but could not bench up with the PG's and get above the ridge. After a few passes I flew out front hoping to blunder into something to climb in but never found it. Sweet smooth conditions good launch and landing kept me smiling. 20 min later they were soaring at will. Still struggling with the Go Pro but got a little video in the LZ hope this loads right.
