Hydrating the passenger's side

My solar camping shower sucks. Because it leaks. The floor of the passenger side rental car had an inch of water in it this morning.

Anyway.

Had a sweet paragliding session on the South Side of the Point yesterday. Got 5+ touch-n-go ridge soaring flights in 15mph winds. It was the first time I've done touch-n-go top landings. The only prior ridge soaring experience I've had was at Makapu'u and Kahana Valley on O'ahu and both places are not conducive for an inexperienced pilot to top land.
It wasn't too crowded when I first got off but a gaggle of pilots came a bit after me and I moved further west along the ridge and flew closer to the gravel pits all by my lonesome. I'm not used to flying so close to other gliders and would admit to having only an ambiguous grasp of ridge soaring rules!
