This is not today's sky. But yesterday's sky. Clouds coming in early morning, lovely XC day clouds, street from Carche to Peña Rubia.

Today the sky was angry, and we saw it coming late afternoon yesterday. Stronger winds at take off Palomaret and more and more from the east.

Today we were hit hard by strong winds from the coast. Jose and Toni flew at Cabo but discouraged us to fly, once in the air it was too much. José flies a DHV 1/2 glider not the fastest, but Toni flies a Nova Triton, known for its speed. Even on his Triton he had to escape on our coastal site with full speedbar on. So no game today.

You could see the clouds, even mamatus over the sea, which meant instability all over. Windfinder is a good thing,but it narrows the knowledge of lots of pilots, just looking at the wind speed. I think safety wise it is better to have some more knowledge than only finding windfinder nowadays. As a paraglider I think you should be on the wave of the weather. Follow it, see it moving, see it growing in the sky. I talked to wave-surfers years ago and I was astonished about their knowledge of the meteo, how it affected their waves, their sea. I wish more pilots were into meteo again, it is by the way a great topic to talk or bullshit about.... .
