Clear Ridge, May 24, '09

Clear Ridge 5 24 09 from Peter Rosen on Vimeo.



It was soarable! But a moment's hesitation, and the chance to fly up above where I'd launched was gone, so nothing left to do but try to make it to the LZ, which I'd reached from that ridge twice before, on less windy days. This time, the headwind told me I wasn't going to make it. But I promised on my last post to show the landing of the next flight, so here it is. Thanks so much to Tracy for rescuing the glider - again!

In the Nick of Time!

In the Nick of Time! from Peter Rosen on Vimeo.




Another gorgeous Big Sur day! And I DID see that there was FOG forming down there, south of the LZ, but didn't give it much thought! In just the few minutes I was in the air, the fog had rolled on in, and as I was setting up my landing, it just kept coming - fast enough that I really felt I had to get down to the ground right now! I promise to include the landing - next time!

Mothers Day at Wild Cattle

Mothers Day at Wild Cattle from Peter Rosen on Vimeo.




It was another one of these Big Sur days that just couldn't have been any nicer. There's still about a minute left of a nice piece from the Destination Buddha Lounge album, after the 2" video ends . . . Happy Mothers Day!
