Flying at Box on Sunday

Guido , thanks for the nice write up.
Today, Sunday, also looks good, (should be even better at launch than yesterday).
Winds are expected to be approx. 2mph less out of the SW till after sunset). Yesterday I flew 55 min. most of it between 6300 -6400'. I landed about 20 min's after sunset.
Glass-off was fantastic. Afterlaunch I benched up to the upper launch, and then just flew around up front. Smoooooooth it was. The only thing different today would be to launch about 75' below the normal launch. If my ankle feels Ok I will try to be at the Lz at 330pm.
What about all you other PG pilots?

Thanks to both Gunter and Guido (who, after landing, hiked nearly to the fence to enjoy a moonlit walk back to the LZ with me) for their help yesterday and apologies for delaying their exit from the LZ.

I think the combination of the wind conditions, the challenges of the Box launch, and my soreness from yesterday's excursion will prevent me from making the trip today.
