three minutes at the A

When I got there about 9:00 am it was coming in 170 at 13. I called Jason and set up. Jason got there just in time to give me an assist. Wind by now was over 15 and the dust off the mine tailings in Sahuarita was blowing ne over the valley. It was still south at launch so after a short wait Jason cleared and I was off. One 180 over the cliffs with the vario singing, back over launch and another 180 followed by sink. Couldnt find enough to keep me up, so out to land. Landing was on the spot and just another falcon landing. My first soaring flight at the A albiet short. Laural came down and picked me up, but by the time I got back up to launch it was hard west south west and really lulling out. The day was over for the time being. Thanks Jason for helping out.
