What do you do. In the morning you see the inversion all over, you checked your weather sites and saw cloudbase was gonna be low. You check winddirection and you're off to a soaringsite.
A soaringsite with kilometers long ridges. You wait till the afternoon, so the rough bits are off.
Still strong at take off, limited probably for most pilots to take off.
Once in the air though all is fine. Relaxing in the air, the odd thermals here and there. No illusion, cloudbase low, so just having a float along the ridges. Looking out for birds, who point out the odd thermal. Try to get a little bit further, getting to the part of the ridge which is cross into wind. Check it out, try to get as far as you can. A little challenge you need.
Awesome, relaxed flying and all for our own, just the four of us, nice.
Two chilled beers, get you in the euforia of having had a splendid day. As I said so many times before, good friends no hassles, good flights no hassles.
