Sometimes a gray day can be good flying, and sometimes not. This was a 23 minute "sled ride", tow to 3000 feet, and just gently glide back down

There was a little sun though the haze, and something was building some puffy clouds, but there was no lift to be found.

There was a storm front coming from the west.

An hour later the winds reached at least 35kt/40mph/65kph on the ground, with rain. That's Florida weather for you.

Zephyrhills sled ride on Wednesday

Barograph. All up on tow, and all down in glide.
