All day flying over the coastline.
Marcel finished his 6 week winterstop with hours of smooth air. His friends Piter and Frans would have loved it.
Two norwegians still around. One had better luck than the other, the old Edel Control didn't seem to do the job. I think I have never seen such a bad glider before. This one is made to float, not to fly I imagine.
Too warm for the time of the year, it was 30 degrees on the terrace. The air was nice and comfortable, not chilly at all, although it blew from northeast.
Although the wind was laminar, some pilots (still, after all these years ...) couldn't take off, and had to pack their gear. Better, because if you can't take off in a 15 km wind, you shouldn't soar it neither. So good thing, they went off and had a drink instead. Imagine the site got jeopardized again, by visiting pilots who refuse help from us locals, more experienced pilots, because they think they know it all... . These kind of people, aaaaaarrrrgghhh.........
