Report of the first part of Sunday having gusty winds on launch. One pilot reported a climbing glide into a headwind. The middle part of the day was normal.  The last part of the day smoothed out like a glass off. HIghest altitude was 6,497ft, TODAY…...another day of above average altitudes. There’s a lower wind velocity also. Both blip and rasp are up over 12K. I’m not seeing anything that would get in the way of that except it’s the 3rd day of these altitudes. Also of note, the rasp is indicating extremely buoyant out front by 5pm. Winds aloft  are SE between 4 and 8kts by 2pm. Max altitude 9,000ft.
