10 flights. Martin had the longest flight at 90 minutes. That was his 7th solo and his 14th glider flight. Thermals were choppy, elongated, and scarce. The one or two thermals we found around the depot were strong, peaking at 10kts in the core at times. High cirrus clouds burned off and allowed us to do some soaring, but it would build up again after a couple hours. We flew in a gaggle for a bit and got some good pics. At 3p, I reached 5700ft MSL before the thermal seemed to end.
