Nepal Tour 2008 - Day 4

Having a "day off" we slept in (as much as possible considering we are all a bit jet-lagged) and yet still found ourselves on the Sarangkot launch by 11:30am or so.

Lee was off first ("no sense wasting a good cycle") - launching before the Russians is always recommended (right Charlie?). Cornell, Brett, Evangeline, and I soon followed. The thermals were a bit 'spicy' with the most cumulus development we've seen yet. Strong climbs up to 2000' over launch.

Again, everyone flew their fill. Evangeline got to taste cloudbase and Cornell logged 1.5hrs. Kiting in the LZ ensued, followed by perfect pre-downpour timing.
