Cross Wind


Wind from the south about 10 to 15 kts.
One tow to 2,000 and one to 1,000 w/ Jim in the backseat.

Did not do so well on the first one.
Intended to have the left wing down into the wind, but I came in crabbed.
The second one was better, but came in too high and subsequently too fast.
Turned into base too early.
And I didn't get to slip properly for some reason.

But I'm ok on the tow.
I'm pretty smooth on tow, or so I think I am...

There was a rope break while someone else was on tow.
The glider never took off, it moved for a few feet and the skid got stuck underneath a patch of grass and rope broke.

That was the end of the day.
Tomorrow doesn't seem so good neither.
