Typically, Blanchard Hill is not predictable from my vantage point at Paine Field.. But after watching the BellCold weather site all morning, I told my boss that I had to go or I was going to be sick.. I left work at 10:30 and ran home to grab my glider.. When I got to the top of the hill the bay was dark with wind.. The direction appeared to have a bit of south in it; but I could see a number of indicators that it was going to clock around to the west soon.. A couple of other guys showed up and it was on..

Within fifteen minutes after launching off of the cliff, I was gliding over to Chuckanut.. A bunch of locals showed up and followed me around for a while.. I'm sure that they got bored with my slow lumbering technique; they each took turns making fun of me just before they balled-up and fell out of the sky.. The next couple of hours felt like laying in a freezer superman style; I froze my ass off..

The mood of the sky changed as the day went on.. I was in the air for almost four hours and those subtle changes made a long day pleasantly tolerable..
