Wintertime flying Alicante


We got our wings out again today, smoother thermals than yesterday. Still climbs 500 m above take off in Palomaret.
Pepe's climb wasn't so innocent as it looked like yesterday, today I got the story. He climb up to cloudbase and got sucked in the cloud. No worries he knew where he was, but he didn't know ! He got out at the other end of where he thought he was gonna be. He was very surprised by the strenght of the cloudsuck, especially as it is only february. Pepe flies without gps, without compass. I think compass is the least you should carry flying into a cloud. But I am not gonna say anything, he is one of our TOP pilots, acro included.
High pressure, more clouds forming from early morning. Also at Cabo there was some flying, Carmen, Alex and co enjoying their backyard.
