Lode, take care of those ribs man, and see you again in september.

Low cloudbase, inversion, high pressure, very warm, no shade, summer, olé !

So looking for a spot where we could soar all afternoon, having the odd hammery thermal that got us nowhere. Carrasqueta, always nice to have a day at Carrasqueta. A 1000 m long ridge, 900 m above sea level, scorpions at take off ok I admit, but amazing views.

Rafa, did it again, he must be the best pilot flying, scratching, looking for lee-thermals that I ever met. He left the hill low towards the village of Jijona, yeah bumming out Rafa ? "You want us to bring back your car, Rafa ?" ... half hour later... All of a sudden he appeared a few kilometers ahead of us, above Peñon de Jijona. ... half hour later ... Again very low. "Hey Rafa, this is just a glide my friend, you have to come back and topland if you want to prove something" , it looked impossible because most of the pilots by that time were sinking out. ... half hour later ... He toplanded asking if somebody needed his car to be brought down. Holy shit.

Give this guy a contract. Sponsor him, give him a manager to charge his GPS in time, some help to remember him to take his vario, and he'll be outflying most of the best pilots I've ever seen.

Mañana mas, Xavi thanks for the pictures my friend.
