I went out at Go-slow today at around 4pm, the wind was very gusty and was switching ENE to E so you know how shitty is the launching and landing...anyway when Shuman and I were ready to leave the wind picked up to about 17-20k and tilted a bit more to the NE......so it seems like be the time it gets dark the wind picks up a bit a turns more towards ENE......

Anyway, I'll try to come out tomorrow after work.....
