After lets be honest, three days of 'sportive' flying, we were happy to stretch our legs, arms, wings at Santa Pola. Enjoying the soaring, untill it got too strong.

Excellent take offs, as you know very important for me. Flying is easy, the glider will sort out 99 procent of the probs. Landing is most of the time the easiest bit. But taking off is all in the hands of the pilot, not the glider, not the conditions, but the skills from the pilot.
Therefore I am happy to have our welsh friends who obviously have had loads of opportunities in Rhosilly to practice strong wind launches et... .

We'll all have fish with heads on tonight at a local fish family run restaurant in Santa Pola, with lots of wine 'vino tinot', from their home barrel. Weekend ain't it ?

Clouds over the sea, cumulus, towering inland. Some bad weather, instable weather coming up ? Lets hope our coastal sites will give us playtime.

Oh yes, we can confirm, one XC 130 km Dudo, 6 pilots more than 50 km yesterday on top of that.
