Takeoff description
A rocky promontory with a lighthouse forms the outer part of the headland. Launches are possible to the north and south along the ridge to the east of the lighthouse, or to the south after a short hike to the top of the headland. Beware of strong shear layers which can produce light winds on the surface with blow-back conditions only a few dozen feet above. If the weather station wind sensors are spinning madly, don't assume the light winds you feel are real!
