An Interesting Day

The forecast was a little optimistic...cloud base was 5000ft in the most part and a little lower in the Waikato. The westerly did get up in the afternoon but not before we had a weak sea breeze convergence behind Tauranga and down to Lake Rotoma. Big blue areas as well. The ridge worked from about 3pm and by 4pm the thermals/ridge was quite strong. Best climb 5plus knots. Two land outs today.
