Weather

Cross Wind can throw mechanical off undercut areas. Flights beyond point to left of launch in crosswind (N)conditions may push a pilot toward Belfast highlands golf course, which has denied access for fliers. High tides remove beach bailout other then old pier near launch. Tides: http://www.marees.gc.ca/eng/station?sid=1690

Comments

Bay heat retention can allow soaring in light winds if timed for tidal shift. XC possible inland as site is at corner of bay in NW winds. Tides dictate bay release. Shares Bay with Point Prim to the West: http://www.marees.gc.ca/cgi-bin/tide-shc.cgi?queryType=showFrameset&zone=4&language=english&region=4&stnnum=1690 Contact HPAAC Member for site specific conditions
