Winds were forecast light and low-level wave unlikely, but upper
winds of 30kts showed some promise if we got high enough. John launched at noon
with a high tow to rotor scraps in the lee of the Dunstans and then headed
northwards. Roland and Pete soon followed. Both Pete and John made it to Mt
Cook via differing paths, both flying over 440km. Wave was poor in the Omarama
Basin but the Ben Ohau wave worked well at height.

Roland got into the Dunstan wave too, and later in the day
Wills took an instruction flight with Doug in JW but by then then local wave
had gone. Thanks to Russell for the tows.
