Saturday proved busy for trial lessons and courses despite the windy conditions. Right from the off the cloud streets proved effective with 2-4kts lift. Wind was 190/15kts so we started on 24 only moving to the more manageable 17 mid morning. Just as well as the breeze freshened to 20 gusting 30kts which made the tows a little interesting to begin with. Thermal strength increased and only late in the afternoon became problematic with the wind veering to 210 and wave beginning to take over. Finally we moved back to 24 for a few more interesting flights.
