Notes:
Tricky launch conditions. Lots of W wind and quite thermic. Nicole and I waited for 1hr+ at launch for it to calm down a bit. Aborted two launches before finally getting off. Turbulent between the launch and the Chalet but very smooth, glass-off conditions further out. Lots of widespread light lift everywhere. Still full on at 8:15 as I went out to land. Never seen conditions like this at Grouse!
