Morning soaring for the early birds. Early birds like Alfred, who loves one thing, flying. Another three hours for him today.

In the afternoon tandems booked, Marcus and Cecilie present.
Could only do one tandem as winds died off in seconds. Rolf still loved it though and his three daughters are booked for next days flying.

In the air it wasn't smooth. Before the eastern winds died off, we had winds from north, and south. Punchy thermals on our cliffs, and having not enough height, better be safe out there. Especially flying tandems, you have to respect a bigger margin of safety, taking people up than you would flying for yourself.

Inland it looked nasty, embedded clouds. And with the forecast that thunderstorms could occur, we stayed near the coast. More Sahara air is coming in, temperatures are rising again. Tomorrow we'll have strong winds. Lets see if we can do something early morning.
