Dust Monkeys: Dust In The Wind

http://dustmonkeys.blogspot.com/2014/07/dust-in-wind.html

Hawaii thermal research over the flatlands of eastern Washington. Tuesday, July 8, 2014. Dust In The Wind. First, my stinking apology for the lack of 'sand' script from my dried out fingers. This place is amazing, but it takes a toll on your skin, mind and watch. The sun arrives early and hangs till late, making schedules downright useless. As you can see from the picture, where I am on double duty, checking my log while dropping one! Then at least we would get back before dark! Bad news: Fireman Dave le...

Dust Monkeys: Task 5: A Very, Very, Very Long Day

http://dustmonkeys.blogspot.com/2014/07/task-5-very-very-very-long-day.html

Hawaii thermal research over the flatlands of eastern Washington. Monday, July 14, 2014. Task 5: A Very, Very, Very Long Day. Conditions on the fifth day were perfect: light wind and clear skies. They called a 206 km task. Some said. It was the longest task ever called in the US, or maybe even the world. Everyone was excited. But I was a bit overwhelmed. I hate how competitions up the ante on their tasks each day, when I am so slow to dial in to the flying! It was smoky and hazy but I could see well enou...

Dust Monkeys: Task 4: Eleventh Hour Reprieves

http://dustmonkeys.blogspot.com/2014/07/task-4-eleventh-hour-reprieves.html

Hawaii thermal research over the flatlands of eastern Washington. Monday, July 14, 2014. Task 4: Eleventh Hour Reprieves. The forecast called for a passing cold front to bring strong wind today. No one had high hopes for a good day. In fact some seemed interested in taking a break! During this horrible sink period Thom got too low, downwind of the butte, and had to bail out to the soccer field. Doh! I felt like I would surely follow any minute. But finally I started to get a good climb out from below...

Dust Monkeys: Task 6: The Perfect Out and Return

http://dustmonkeys.blogspot.com/2014/07/task-6-perfect-out-and-return.html

Hawaii thermal research over the flatlands of eastern Washington. Monday, July 14, 2014. Task 6: The Perfect Out and Return. Apparently a couple of retrieve volunteers had quit after the previous long day, and no one could really blame them. But they found a couple more helpful folks to fill in. We got up nicely above the power lines and headed towards the single turn point of the task. It was really, really far away! I was pushing in the direction my GPS told me, and watching the ground, and peering ahe...

Hawaii thermal research over the flatlands of eastern Washington. Wednesday, July 9, 2014. Reaper's Tale: Smokey and the Bandits. Submitted by Reaper on Wind Lines] Aloha 'Ol Smokeys! Well, today was a little smokey with the fires in Wells Canyon, Brewster, and a few remnants from McNeil canyon fires. We had a record launch at 117 pilots in 51 minutes. Try that at Kahana? Then all of a sudden right after I called Kari Castle (Meet Director) from launch and said all pilots were gone, 65 pilots came roarin...

Dust Monkeys: Pre-Practice Day

http://dustmonkeys.blogspot.com/2014/07/pre-practice-day.html

Hawaii thermal research over the flatlands of eastern Washington. Friday, July 4, 2014. I just arrived in Chelan this evening, after a 5 hour flight and a 3 hour drive, but Thom, Paul, Bonnie and Bill have been here a couple days and got to do some nice thermaling over the butte today. Thom got up to eight grand! Thom and I are settling into our swanky digs at the Apple Inn Motel and re-programming our instruments at the last minute. Hoping conditions are good for the next week!
