Scobie, Cape Cod soaring sites are well covered in a summary prepared by Helmut Lelke of the Charles River Radio Controllers. His excellent summary is on our club web site at: http://www.charlesriverrc.org/fields_capecodslopes.htm One of the favorite places for slopers to stay is the Seascape Motel because of the slope right there. The CRRC web site has links to local weather and wind info. http://www.charlesriverrc.org/links_weather.htm The weather in May is often windy with warm weather winds from the southwest and colder highs providing breezes from the Northwest. If you are lucky, the winds will come straight out of the west and allowing soaring at the best sites. A rare event is wind from the east which allows sloping off the cliffs on the Atlantic side of the outer Cape. Enjoy your trip.
