Santa Pola soaring

Magne and Fredrik, soaring the coastline. Incroyable, increible, unbelievable with the winds that were forecasted. Southwest, and we flew for over an hour at our eastern site. While up high we could see the clouds moving southwestwards and not slowly.
At first I wanted to go inland, to Hondon, the only place I thought that would have a window early in the day.
But clouds were already suspicious enough not to drive all the way.
I told the guys to have a good day, and told them to keep their phones on in case I found a window somewhere. A call from Magne did it. He was at the coast and spotted a slight easterly wind.
A few lousy top to bottoms later, I could radio them to the lighthouse. Chris also arrived and got hisgood old Hook out, after two months being back down here from England, where he managed to do one top to bottom all summer.
Stevie and friends have gone home. Hope they get their flying in upcoming days, they said it was gonna be gooooooood out in Wales. Hope you all had a good time, lets meet again.
