Danish pilots in the air, just arriving from their warm Scandinavian weather. At Cortina.

We were off inland at first, but luckily Ismael called us, stop, turn around, relax, too strong. So we turned around, relaxed and went for the coastline. Even there clouds were getting big, black, huge.

But the breeze withheld the bigger ones, so we could fly !

Other local pilots tried out a new ridge near Pinoso, with succes, this evening I had the message that they found a new ridge near Pinoso. They will get me the details so we can see if suitable for all of us in the near future. Teamwork.

Saw the news on TV, up north almost panic because of the drought. In Belgium for instance it hasn't been raining for 30 days, fantastic. But they start to have problems, not having enough water now. No problem down here we have been living for decades with the lack of rain. It is called a disaster area, this Alicante and more south the Almeria region. Told you, they have the solucion, down here. Just keep on building more immense golf courses, that consume water like a village of 10000 inhabitants. Or believe the oracle Johann Cruyff, who is now telling us that Spain is the most advanced country in Europe recycling waste water. It is all done for his sponsored golf-courses ! So no worries.

It'll be an iffy week to fly, lots of instability. Hopefully just enough to fly high cloudbase and do tasks.

Hi Nick!
Give our warm regards to the Danish pilots who are visiting you at the moment. Wish we were with you - miss you :-) Love your "hunting" picture.
