Arrived about 2pm
Larry and Andrew were there and it off a little to 4.3 to 4.8 knots.
I launched at 2:35pm and my first flight was a little over 30 minutes going up to Hell Hole twice.
I then had 3 further short flights mostly around launch.
My final flight was about 3:45 and the wind had dropped below 5 knots and was gusting to only 8 knots. I did a forward launch and flew for about 30 minutes by which time the wind had swung a little further north 72-76 degrees (ENE)
Greg and Larry were doing tandems and Andrew was back in the air.
By the time I picked them up with Andrew it was after 5pm.
