siesta

When I picked up Bob this morning he looked tired, but then he always looks tired.

When you would have seen him minutes ago, you would think he hasn't slept for ages.

Bob had on his first day, a bit of a scare. Didn't realize he was in Alicante, having to deal with the punchy thermals.

Although flying a super safe wing, Gin Bolero, his glider had to be controlled when the thermals passed through.

It was 6 pm, when first time he got in the air. and it was still not so friendly for low-airtime pilots. At 7 pm, he stopped shaking , waiting another half hour and flew again.

Lots of pilots again. Some of them coming back from Yeste. Where the comp was held. Strangely enough they didn't fly today at the comp. Although the weather looked very good to do decent XC's inland. West-wind, cloudstreets... instability inland. Just what you need for XC. well they were there, I was here.

I could only see the instability forming in the back (inland) overlooking our hills.
