4 hours flight at Blanchard (Bow, Washington) 05/22/20

Flying sites in Pacific NorthWest:
Oregon and Washington Hang Gliding 
Where to learn Hang Gliding in Pacific Northwest:

Blanchard (near Bellingham Washington) was awesome today. I launched at 1:45pm after James F showing us it's on and l flew for over four hrs with more than dozen hang gliders.  It was an easy climb for everyone topping between 2,000 to 3,000 ft.(launch is 1,250ft/ LZ 0ft MSL)  Couple thermals took me to the cloudsbase at 3,500ft.  The winds were blowing SW approximately 5-13 mph at launch. Smooth air . Two paragliders flew earlier.   Thanks again to Thomas, Travis, Luis, James, Shawn...  for driving.  I'll share video and pics later.
