Man, I love it down here. Ooops.
No, look at the foto's, this is not photo shop, not at all, these were the real colours today. Fantastic blue sky, and look how this mirrored in the med.
It was great to fly good old Cabo de Santa Pola again, after weeks flying inland. And the hard core Cabo-flyers were there, Raul, Alex, Antonino and Kike. Good fun.
Although the day started very windy. Palmtrees swinging, seagulls playing speedbar on. Euh chicos, maybe not today. But wait, sometimes in the afternoon that wind dies off and we get a window to fly at the coast, don't count on it, but be there at 1.30.
(oh my god what did I promise)

Yes ! Westernwinds were starting to veer to the north. It was just before midday.
Come on, a bit more. Yes ! Benidorm had eastern winds now, it is midday.
12.15 yes, Playa de San Juan just north of Alicante had a change in wind as well. But not down here at Cabo yet. Steady.
12.30 quick lunch, never know we have to go fly soon, winds are dying off, so maybe maybe
12.45 first eastern breezes, in between the still gusty western wind.
13.00 yes, that's it, the sea starts to look different, no more white horses, a change in colour even
13.15 wait, it is east for sure now, but where have these strong gusts gone, are we flying in the lee, and can we be in for a surprise, lets wait.
13.30 In the air, rig guys, lets have Santa Pola for us today. Halelujah.
When I drove home I saw this,
I love it down here.
