Rafa overflying Cocentaina.

Roadblock driving up to take off Monte Cabrer. Surprise, surprise, huge rocks fell off the mountain and blocked the whole road. After menpower we could continue on the deteriorating drive up.

Once at take off a slight breeze from the northeast gave us opportunity to fly at Cabrer for the first time this year 2009.

The charts this morning showed us a clear convergence line.

Northwesternwinds in the morning , with eastern winds pushing from the coast. But realizing it is still winter, it wasn't gonna be XC. But low cloudbase especially at the coast, were eastern winds were bringing in lots of sea air. So we choose for some thermals at Monte Cabrer. Cloudbase at 1350 meter, Pepe saying it was difficult to core the thermals.

Oh, almost forgot to say. Marcel had a late flight with his brandnew Niviuk Artik. Congratulations.

I still do have an Artik Medium for sale at an incredible cheap price. It has 10 flights ... .

Today I made my choice after analyzing the charts at www.theyr.net
