Hmmm....

Now I'm not sure which day is better. Monday is straighter, but Tuesday is stronger.

The wind mostly matched the forecast ... until it didn't. It was slightly more northerly than predicted, but I was still able to make soaring flights of a few passes. But then the wind shifted hard north and even slightly northeast which didn't match the forecast at all. It was fun while the westerly component lasted. And best of all, the traffic between San Diego and Los Angeles was the best I've experienced in many years. There wasn't a single slow down in either direction.

Overall, it was a fun day!      :thumbup:
