Notes:
It was great to be back in the air again. I flew around for 2 hours, trailing a 3' by 5' Canadian flag 3 meters behind me. There was enough lift to boat around at 1200 m near the tram station, and further back it was relatively easy to climb up to our ceiling and run lapses from the Peak to the Camel, back to the bottom of the Cut, etc. The flag was a big hit.
