Observation start time: 11:30:00 
Observation end   time: 14:00:00 
Total observation time: 2.5 hours

Official Counter: Gordy Adamski

Observers:        

Weather:
A very strong wind out of the SW, it made it difficult to hold onto the
binoculars. Falling tepm 18 to 15.5 & falling humidity 43 to 37. 

Observations:
The SS were fighting in the wind & ended up going sideways out in front of
the observation point. The CH managed to make some better progress against
the wind. I finally had to leave as the wind got to be too much.
