Some shots of our flying over Buenos Aires, Elche. It was just there that the southern sea breeze kicked in. Peter was today's skygod, kept on soaring while others couldn't manage to get a turn in.

Our freshly arrived Norwegian pilots were more pleased with their soaring later on, over the cliffs at the coast. They got the rust off, day one, having had a short night sleep.

Frans was very pleased after his numerous visits, to enjoy another site again. And there's still more that you haven't flewn yet Frans. See you in october with the usual.

this just came in, quotes by Frans Dechaene : Difficult day today. Started out early today but halfway there Nick started getting feedback that the winds inland were too strong. 180 back to home base. By early afternoon the sea breeze started kicking in, but unfortunately south east rather east as we need on the Cabo. Nick proposed to go to a small ridge called Buenos Aires, not far from Elche. Small soaring ridge. Sea breeze kicked in and we did some soaring flights. Later back to the Cabo where we made a small flight and narrowly missed the window. So came our week to an end, my 10th visit to Nick. And it was one of the better ones. Back in October !
