Bob flew yesterday but the forecast was for increasing winds in the morning so we are flying today with a calmer forecast.

Well that worked out... not. Not very far above the tree tops the wind picked up to about 15mph. The very surface wind was still calm but we were covering ground quickly east. Got into our old Maynard neighborhood, tracking for Sea Change and decided to take the big parking lot. Very calm slow landing and the crew quickly got to us.

The winds did stay light until later, but it felt better being on the ground.
