Looks like perfect slope conditions after Noon. Talked to some guys and everything seems to be a go.
Light conditions just right for Shannon in the morning and wind strengthening for Lawrencetown in the afternoon. Keep flying.

An Excellent afternoon flying Sunday at Lawrencetown with 6 fliers. Flew from 1pm and finished up at 6pm.
Winds were due south at a consistent 25 kph. Bright sun was a bit dazzling at times.
Time to give Slope Soaring a try.

Yes, perfect weather and perfect SW winds. With an endless stream of visitors, tourists, and spectators, and with 6 flyers, it felt like a mini-Slopefest '22. Our activities were closely scrutinized by an eagle overhead for much of the day, and I was chased by what I'm fairly sure was a Peregrine Falcon which was a privilege! I have been chased by them before. They're the fastest animal on Earth. Yes, we had girl student flyer, with a five-to-one instructor to student ratio! Ha!
Thanks guys! Great to see everyone again!
